Testimonials

I believe ’Degrees of Emotion’ has wider applications in the communication therapy field. I think therapists’ world-wide would acknowledge the potential of the programme and welcome it in their practice.

As a social worker who has worked in the areas of mental health, prison service, hospitals and the disability sector, I believe that communication is vital in these areas, and I envisage that this “tool”, in the hands of the many different professional therapists, will be of immeasurable importance in ensuring clients’ ability to reach as much independence as possible.

As a therapist working with a student on making friends and raising self-awareness this programme proved a powerful tool. The student was able to identify with the models on the screen and was fully engaged throughout a 50 minutes one on one session. There are many students and learning situations for which the programme would be invaluable. Click here to view testimonial video

I believe the programme will be used by many. The tool has been thoroughly researched and trialled. It combines many therapeutic and teaching areas to enhance the lives of students. As I teacher, I would highly recommend its use not only in Special Education areas, but also across mainstream settings.

"Degrees of Emotion" is an innovative and practical aid to communication in many different professional and community settings. Over years of professional experience, Lynn Bryant identified a major gap in the assisted communication tools that were available. "Degrees of Emotion" reflects the practical wisdom, creativity and research skills that she has brought to its development. As a result, this versatile tool is now available to help enable many people to communicate and to understand crucial information more effectively.
