🌟 Every young person’s journey with #SEMH & #SLCN is one-of-a-kind, shaped by their own strengths.

By embracing differences, we can create spaces that celebrate diversity and help everyone thrive in their own unique way 💫 #CommunicationMatters #Inclusion

🌟 Every #AAC system is unique, just like the person using it!

It’s crucial that AAC systems reflect the individual’s culture, language, and social identity 💬💙

Check out these tips from our AAC Clinical Lead, Amy!

Such fun today practising the /t/ sound. Each time we put a donut on the plate, we had to say the word and put it in a sentence. Made us both crave donuts 🍩

Awareness of #dld can help students learn what strategies are right for them, and develop independence.

The Toolkits in #LFBE, and the @DLDandMe book have some excellent resources for helping students find strategies that suit them 🙌
