This is the presentation that I will give later today. For ethical reasons I cannot upload the videos that I will use to illustrate my points. If you want to discuss any of these points further please do not hesitate to leave me a message.
Conference Paper Visual Narrative by Tommy McGovern
Nice and interesting piece of work - brings some memories back when I first started working with children and young people on the spectrum and how you can learn from them and to a certain extent try and put yourself in their shoes.
ReplyDeleteWhat I love about this piece of work is that children were actually given the opportunity to participate and express themselves rather than this being done on their behalf. There needs to be more of a person centred thinking across all the settings to give children and people with Autism and disabilities their voice back.
Yes, it is amazing how much you can learn when you try and change the view of the world you take. I think it is essential that all children including children on the autism spectrum have their voices heard - whether it is verbally or in other formats. Thank you comments.
