Are you interested in communication and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities?
Researchers at the Tizard Centre, University of Kent have been evaluating the quality of communication for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in adult social care.
- We asked staff what they thought about communication.
- We completed some assessments.
- We observed communication exchanges.
- We talked to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families about their experiences.
Some participants had communication passports and we wanted to know whether having a communication passport made a difference to the quality of communication.
Come and hear about what we found at a free one day workshop at the University of Kent on Thursday 25 April 2019 at 10.00 to 12.30 hrs.
We would like to share our research findings. We will then spend time discussing what we might need to do to improve the quality of communication for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities living in adult social care. Speakers include Dr Dinah Murray Dr Damian Milton and Dr Jill Bradshaw.
