All documents are supplied in PDF format.

Total Communication Projects

Our work is no longer funded by the Dorset, Bournemouth and Poole Learning Disability Partnership Boards. This is unfortunate, as we are unable to offer the free services that we used to.

Total Communication co-worker Chervon Miller has written a web page about her work. Click here to see it. Chervon left the project at the end of March 2007. Many thanks to Chervon for her hard work!
