Two way street

International Visual Communication Association award-winning video in the Practical Training category 2002

Two way streetTwo-way Street is for a wide, multi-agency audience - anyone whose role involves contact with children whose impairments may affect their communication.

There is an urgent need to improve our ability to communicate with disabled children and young people, particularly about their wishes and feelings. The lack of appropriate communication and consultation with disabled children is of vital concern.

This video pack and handbook aims to improve skills in communicating directly with children and
young people with different communication impairments, in a way which is respectful of disabled children and young people.

Front cover of Two-way street handbookAims and contents

The pack aims to improve practice, and increase competence and confidence by:

  • providing information on different augmentative and alternative communication methods
  • teaching and modelling good practice in establishing communication with disabled children
  • reflecting on common mistakes and ways to repair breakdowns in communication.

Children and young people are shown communicating through speech, sign, gesture, sounds, behaviour, play and a range of augmentative and alternative systems.

Developed by Triangle Services for Children, the NSPCC and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation.
