Thanks to all the people who have expressed an interest in the Talking Mats research group . We are excited to see the range of research going on and how people are using Talking Mats as a research tool in a variety of settings e.g. universities, NHS, not for profit organisations, youth justice – and with such a wide range of client groups e.g. dementia , alternative and augmentative communication , children and young people, people with learning disabilities, and palliative care.<\/p>\n

This is a virtual network and we are still exploring ways in which this could work, but it could involve an email network, virtual seminars and\/or twitter chats.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being included, and have completed our Talking Mats Foundation Training course, we would love to hear from you.<\/p>\n

\"JB<\/a><\/p>\n

The network will be coordinated by Dr Joan Murphy, Founding Director of Talking Mats, and Dr Jill Bradshaw (Tizard Centre, University of Kent) who was appointed as our Honorary Associate in November 2019 https:\/\/www.talkingmats.com\/honorary-research-associate\/<\/a><\/p>\n
