We’ve been delivering a joint emotional literacy session with OT this morning for a learner. We’ve been thinking about labelling emotions, body language, social situations and emotional self regulation. #mySLTday #emotionalliteracy @PortlandOT

Communicating choice and self-regulation go hand in hand. Another example of #MDTworking at @PortlandCollege

We work with education staff to use photos, pictures, symbols and signs to enable learners to better understand information. Here is one college Tutor talking about how she made the displays at college accessible. #mySLTday #SLT #InclusiveCommunication #AccessibleInformation

Charlotte‘s working with a learner, helping them understand the risks around eating and drinking. When a learner has capacity to make their own choices, we work with them to help them choose safe and enjoyable food #mySLTday #dysphagia #makingchoices #visualresources

At Portland, we work closely with our @Portland_SLT colleagues when assessing for adaptive eating and drinking equipment #MDTworking #meaningfuloccupations

Lois is playing a modified version of #UNO in a 1:1 with one of the learners on her caseload. The learner directs the game telling each person what the cards mean using her communication app #ProLoQuo2Go It all gets quite competitive! #mySLTday #SLT #inclusivecommunication
