The NSPCC, Triangle and the Joseph Rowntree Foundation joined forces to fund and produce the 'Two-way Street' video and handbook, which challenge preconceptions about the way disabled children communicate. The pack gives information on teaching good practice, highlights common mistakes and stresses the rights of disabled children to be consulted.
Ruth Marchant, Triangle co-director, said, 'We often act as if speaking is the best or the only way to communicate. This video aims to broaden our definitions of communication and to shift our practice in line with this. All children can communicate and have wishes and feelings.' The video and handbook are available for 55 from the NSPCC National Training Centre, 3 Gilmore Close, Beaumont Leys, Leicester LE4 1EZ (0116 234 7223).
