(jointly with Sense Scotland)
This project has been a collaborative venture with Sense Scotland, and CALL has developed a Resource Pack to help practitioners listen to and consult with children who have complex difficulties and communication support needs.
The project was led by Dr. Stuart Aitken and the Resource Pack was written by Stuart Aitken and Sally Millar. The Resource Pack is composed of two books and a video. Book 1, Are we listening? describes the context in which listening to and consulting with children has emerged and illustrates good practice and difficulties. Book 2, A rough guide to listening, is a practical guide to different approaches to communication, listening and consulting. It contains examples drawn from work with children in schools, at home and in other settings, together with a Communication Profile for identifying communication needs, and a step by step guide to identify techniques for effectively listening and consulting with individual children.

To launch the pack a series of three seminars were organised in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Glasgow in 2002. Overall, around 150 participants attended these three days.
