Total communication approach at Coleg Elidyr

A total communication approach allows individuals with communication difficulties to communicate in the most accessible way to them. As a result, the college has developed a highly inclusive environment where learners can share their views, thoughts and feelings with confidence. For many learners this represents significant progress from their initial starting point.

Staff use a range of sign, symbols and speech in Welsh and English to support learners throughout the day. This approach is highly effective in supporting learners’ understanding, development of skills and communication with others.

The college has placed a strong focus on professional learning to ensure a high-quality communication environment for learners. Further, staff consistently use high quality resources in college, and also within the wider community, to support learners.
