Talking Mats are delighted to share that we have been awarded funding to create a brand-new sensory resource for children and young people who have Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) and sensory integration\/processing difficulties. The funding to create this resource has been awarded by the Communication Trust from the Communication Consortium Grants Programme – funded by The Rayners Special Educational Trust.<\/em>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Communication Trust Consortium, a coalition of over 35 not-for-profit organisations, is hosted by ICAN<\/a>. They harness collective expertise to support the workforce and commissioners to support all children and young people\u2019s speech, language, and communication skills across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exciting year-long project will be led by Laura Holmes, our Lead Associate for Children and Young People. Laura has been part of the Talking Mats Team since 2016 and has over 20 years\u2019 experience of working as a Speech and Language Therapist with children and young people, across a wide variety of settings in both NHS and independent sectors.  <\/p>\n\n\n

New Sensory Resource<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project will develop, pilot and launch a Talking Mats visual communication resource to tune into a child\u2019s view of their sensory needs. It will enable children and young people who have speech, language, and communication needs (SLCN) and sensory difficulties to have a voice in their therapy assessment, planning and intervention.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSensory integration\u201d and \u201csensory processing\u201d refer to the processes in the brain that allow us to take the signals from our senses, make sense of those signals and respond appropriately.\u202f Children and young people with sensory processing\/integration difficulties often have speech, language and communication difficulties, which may be linked to a diagnosis of autism (Green et al 2016<\/a>); developmental language disorder (Simpson et al 2020<\/a>);<\/a> hearing impairment (Alkhamra et al 2020<\/a>); or a history of trauma (Fraser et al 2017<\/a>).\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This work is important as sensory assessments can typically involve a mixture of formal and informal questionnaires and checklists which are carried out with Parents\/Carers, Education Staff, and may also involve observations of the child in their environment. The issue is that Child Voice is not always routinely, or effectively, included in these assessments, or in subsequent planning and intervention \u2013 however the Royal College of Occupational Therapists recommends that \u2018person-centred goals\/outcomes must be established prior to intervention\u2019 (RCOT, Informed View: Sensory Integration and Sensory-Based Assessments 2021).\u202fThis also links with the current SEND system in England and GIRFEC in Scotland, both of which also emphasise the importance of child voice throughout assessment, planning and intervention processes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We plan to work with experienced Talking Mats OT and SLT practitioners working with children and young people who have SLCN and sensory needs, to co-create this resource. <\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
