Please share…. Does anyone have experience of delivering group therapy online to adults with learning disabilities? Thoughts? Research? Looking to write an article. Thanks in advance.

First #AAC social group with 5 students today. Blown away by how well it went. Usually loathed to use their communication devices, today they couldn’t get enough. An environment where they had an equal opportunities to communicate. Happy faces all round. #mySLTday #Equality

Why are people with learning disabilities still not seen as equal members of society? It frustrates me so much that banks, cafes and shops don’t have easy read information or strategies in place to support these beautiful unique people!! Why is this? RCSLT 💙 @rcslt_bulletin #ALD

Does anyone have any ideas or resources re supporting the development of emotional literacy in adults with complex needs. I have tried the Zones but this is too complex and abstract.

Alongside core vocab, it’s important to choose motivating fringe vocab, personalised to the individual.This is a nice questionnaire to gather key words from parents and teachers to support children who use AAC. A little Americanised so may need adapted 😆 aackids.psu.edu/_userfiles/fil…

Wondering if anyone is aware of any social stories explaining boyfriends and girlfriends to autistic teenagers? #Autism #socialstories #romanticrelationships #speechandlanguagetherapy
