Participation of children and youth with complex communication needs
In this presentation, Shakila Dada will discuss complex communication needs (CCN) in the context of two specific projects.
Participation of children and youth with complex communication needs
18 Jul 2023, 14:00 – 15:00
Shakila will talk about these two studies.
The first focused on co-designing accessible health information and education materials with and for persons with CCN, their families and healthcare providers and analysing barriers to healthcare. The second explored the validation of the instrument Picture My Participation that measures participation in children with and without disabilities.
This in-person event will be particularly useful for researchers, teachers, educators and SENCOs.
