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

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
