We had the meeting in my bedroom was not too bad but it's very small. Maybe meeting at the Health Centre would have been better. It has more space and it means I get out and meet people. We met up 3 times and it was good. 

By the three times  Andrea has been I  have learnt  quite a lot. I would have liked more information ..


We did Talking Mats. They helped me to say what I think. 

It helped me better understand what Andrea asked. Liked it better than written information . It helped me figure out what I 've got to do. It helped me remember the things I said . I liked getting  a printout of the Talking Mats with the pictures. 

My confidence: 

Sometimes I feel worried about food getting stuck in my throat. But I now know what helps because we talked about it.

Some SLT students came on visits, student was nice and it wasn't too bad. I would maybe have preferred 1 person coming.
