March – December 2013 : Books Beyond Words Training Workshops
Beyond Words are the publishers of an award-winning series of books for people with learning disabilities or communication difficulties. The books communicate through pictures to help people understand and cope with a wide range of difficult situations. Please visit www.booksbeyondwords.co.uk
During 2013 we will be running regular workshops on the various ways in which the books can be used not only to support those with learning disabilities but also family members, carers, those in clinical professions and teachers. The topics will include general introductory workshops, bookclub workshops and therapy workshops.
