As the #communicationmatters conference approaches there are lots of good memories of working with Lucia & presenting with her there. She had huge insight into #augcomm and I loved working with her on the @talkingmats Inclusion & diversity resource . Her early sudden passing is so sad.
Lucia Tullio passed away earlier this year. With her family's permission we have posted a short tribute to her.

Moved to see @talkingmats being used in Jailed: Women in prison on Iplayer.Remember when it was unusual to have a SLT in prison - good that communication issues are being recognised- but the lack of support for those women as they come out is woeful, will sadly lead to revolving doors #mentalhealth

Our most widely used method was a Card Sort (a bit like @TalkingMats). We provided images + brief descriptions of school subjects / experiences and pupils ranked these then talked about why they made their choices. This created structure and clear boundaries to discussion. 7/10

With a lovely adaptation of @TalkingMats using custom symbols of hands to represent what the person’s “home” felt like. And how heart breaking to hear anyone describe their place to sleep like this. We gotta help society do better. And soon! #isaac2018

Today some of my adults with intellectual disabilities did an adapted @TalkingMats to share their thoughts about the #edconvo18. They told me what they wanted schools to do MORE of, to STOP doing, and START DOING. They soon started telling us what to write. @TraceyMartinMP

... Oh and think about getting someone trained in @TalkingMats as another way to find out what the adult actually likes doing!
