Talking Mats communication symbols tool is based on extensive research and designed by Speech and Language Therapists. It uses unique, specially designed picture communication symbols that are attractive to all ages and communication abilities and is used by clinical practitioners, carers and support workers in a wide range of health, social work, residential and education settings. It helps people to organize their thoughts and express their views. This 2-part foundation training is structured to allow participants time to reflect and develop their own communication skills between the two sessions. Attendance at both sessions is required. Each participant will also be provided with a topic set so that you can put the resource into practice straight away.
