How well do you communicate with the people you support? Think about this: We often think that people can understand more words than they can. Some abstract concepts are much harder to understand. If people are given too much language, it may be hard to process. Mothers message: You can have a drink after youve tidied your room Daughter understands: Drink then Room In English, what we say first is usually what we want the person to do first. The Daughter becomes upset when she is expected to tidy her room and has not yet had her drink. What might you do if you hadnt understood? Think about your communication skills today, and how well you use them. Clear communication is the key! :) #behaviour #challenge #communication #learningdisability #support #powerful #challenging #skill #language #challengingbehaviourfoundation
