Tool of the Month: Communication Chart

The tool of the month is the Communication Chart.

This is a very versatile tool in that it can be used to:

•Record how the person communicates using their behaviour, body language, facial expressions

•Details what you need to do to communicate with the person e.g. using signing, objects etc

•It helps to capture information in a way that clearly sshow what is important to and important for someone and also areas of their support which are working/not working.


Below is an example:

Tool of the Month

Like and Admire One of the best parts of my job is having opportunities to meet lots of new people both within and outside of MacIntyre.

One thing I am always aware of is that during that first meeting people will decide very quickly if they like me or not and if they will want to spend time with me in the future.
This is the same for the people we support but unlike me they are not always in control of what information about them is shared with people even before that first meeting. One way we can support people to tackle this problem is to support them to develop their own Like and Admire.
This is the tool of the month. This tool ensures that people see the person first and not labels or reputations for example.


Like and Admire is:
