Asking for articles on innovations has clearly inspired you to write. Some of the innovations are new to everyone, such as personal health budgets and education provision for 19-25s or, new to the world of PMLD- such as eye gaze, gesture-based technology and powered wheelchairs. Other ventures might be new to some of you, such as multi-sensory stories and multi-media passports and information books.
Two writers have tried out new ways of working with people with behaviour that is challenging, whilst others have described innovative projects such as a new theatre show, working with art installations and using media to assist in life story work. Amongst the new projects are introductions to new ways of thinking about people with PMLD, one challenging the view of people with PMLD as being ‘developmentally young’ and the other, encouraging playfulness in people with PMLD.
