Pictures can help interaction with children whether they speak or not. But it depends on the way adults use pictures, whether it helps the children to express their view or not. Read more about taken the children's perspectives into account in our study:

@KathEvans2 @WeLDnurses @LDNurse1 @RCPCHtweets @NurseBrennaM @wlasinclair @CarterBernie @tandfonline Thanks! Hopefully it turns out to be useful. For me probably the most important insight was that we shouldn't think WE prepare children, but we should help them to prepare themselves.

Our study on helping disabled children to prepare for medical procedures in their own way has been published!
How can children influence their care even without words? They can, if we take them seriously.

"Children's own experience of loneliness predicted the challenges of adolecence better than an adults' assumptions about the child's well-being. Lets take time to listen children!" @LauraOrtju highlights from @niina_junttila #ChildhoodConf2024 keynote: https://t.co/tR1aBdLDaF

@DrPaigeEDavis Oh, pity! I'll try to take time to write, but now I have to finish my Thurday's presentation...

[Johanna Kaitsalmi (née Olli) @Jo_Engl]

If I could change one thing in the disabled children’s life, I would change the aim of their rehabilitation.
This, and how to do it, according to my study, is the subject of my #ChildhoodConf2024 presentation on
Thursday in the Session B (Minerva room k115) 4:00 - 5:30 p.m.
