Learning Disabilities and www.specialfriendsonline.com

This is a BBC broadcast of a new method of communicating for people with Learning Disabilities which has been produced by www.specialfriendsonline.com called Smiley Talk. People can chat to each other using smiley face icons and preset questions/answers, which mean that they do not have to use the keyboard or worry about spelling enabling all members with a learning disability to keep in touch.
www.specialfriendsonline.com is the first social network of its type for people with learning disabilities, their families, careers and volunteers. It provides a safe and secure environment for members to keep in touch with old friends and make new friends, to chat and message not only in their area but all around the world. They can share experiences and inspirational stories and stay in touch with people who really understand them.

Parents, careers and volunteers we will provide them with the tool to contact other families that will enable them to take the unknown out of the challenges that they may meet on a daily basis. We will provide parents/carers with the opportunity to share their inspirational stories and experiences, find useful links and the opportunity to chat to other people. They can also discuss their concerns and goals and share their positive stories and rewards with others who would be grateful for their advice.
