During #COVID19 NHS staff still need ongoing training. Face-to-face is not always possible. So, we have FREE 'serious' games to help staff improve knowledge via their phone. Bite-sized learning that offers a useful distraction. Please share ow.ly/CKRf50z9Sn6

Some wonderful feedback from library assistants at @ashstpeterslibs - so glad you found the game to be really beneficial!
@Comm_Game Played this game this time last week at #LA_day_2018 and learnt so much about #communication, the people who need support. they type of support, how many...we found it fascinating, interesting and fun! 🎲🙂
Adapting the way you communicate can really help when someone has communication difficulties. Some ideas include using your hands to help convey your message, keeping a pen and paper handy, or using pictures/symbols to support communication
Communication is a basic human right, the means through which we control our existence. Estimates suggest 50%-90% of people with learning disabilities have communication difficulties. How can you communicate more effectively with people who have LDs? Please share. #BILDFactTweets
