speech therapy services

Liz Taylor 24/07/18 Dignity Champions forum

I was talking to someone this morning about the lack of speech therapy services to support younger adults with physical and learning disabilities. The young person has an IPAD which is loaded with a programme called PROGO but there doesn't seem to be any training available on how to make best use of this.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Thanks Joanne, did you get the training with the programme, or did the language therapist provide it. I am quite keen to source some training.
