Event description
Talking Mats is a visual framework that uses picture symbols to help people with a variety of communication difficulties to communicate more effectively.
The approach ensures that people are involved in choice making and expressing opinions in an accessible way. It is an excellent tool for encouraging inclusive practice.
Talking Mats is used by clinical practitioners, carers and support workers in a wide range of health, social work, residential and education settings.
