Talking Mats @talkingmats.bsky.social · Jan 7

New for 2025! Talking Mats grew out of research, so it’s great to shine a monthly spotlight on current research projects. Our international research group is made up of researchers who use Talking Mats in their projects to make sure research is inclusive for people with a communication difficulties.

A small advert for the Talking mats research spotlight includes a spotlight in the corner and at the bottom has a person working through a stack of research papers

This will help us in #ResearchNet - Explaining differences between care homes versus assisted living for people with learning disabilities

Explaining differences between care homes versus assisted living for people with learning disabilities: Angela Fletcher

I was on a panel at the Care Show in Birmingham recently and one of the questions I was asked was how my services are different to the shiny new all-singing all-dancing care homes that are popping up.

The new commitment document is fairly imminent so you’ll be able to see the national plans then. Obviously our EoE #chooseLDNursing group has a clear action plan. See you at the next meeting on 10th for regional updates. 😊

Updates on the national #chooseldnursing campaign. Aware #TommyJessop is our need ambassador but hoping there are plans in 2025 to get us all on board nationally to campaign collectively and proactively for our field and highlight how important and great a career it is!

Yes there are groups campaigning as our system is failing as much as SEND system in England. We want to promote having more learning disability nurses as part of the assessment processes in education and educational planning or educating teacher, in our journey through education

I’ve found there to be poor knowledge base , lack of multidisciplinary working and reliance on “ toolkits” to support neurodivergent children in totally inappropriate environments. Hence all the “ ghost” children throughout UK.

Increased poor mental health for neurodivergent children and young people will lead to increased needs as adults.
