‘Communication is vital to us all as human beings. It enables us to socialise with others and make sense of what is going on around us. If we cannot speak, understand words or read and write very week we are often excluded unless others around us are prepared to change’
‘Communicating effectively with people with a learning disability’, BILD 2011
Our Effective Communication training identifies practical ways of supporting communication with people with learning disabilities and explores why, what and how people communicate.
