Two-way street

A practical training resource for anyone working with children whose impairments may affect their communication

Product Information Format: DVD and handbook Price: £56 Buy from NSPCC Publications  Format: Handbook Price: £5 Buy from NSPCC Publications

There is an urgent need to improve our ability to communicate with disabled children and young people, particularly about their wishes and feelings.

Aimed at a wide, multi-agency audience, this resource aims to improve skills in communicating directly and in a respectful way with children and young people whose disability may affect their communication.

The resource was International Visual Communication Association award-winning video in the Practical Training category 2002.

Aims and contents

Consisting of a DVD and handbook, this resource will help improve practice, increasing 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.
