Maria Venditozzi was asked to evidence the capacity of a lady with learning disabilities when her family questioned the validity of her decision to move into her own flat. Using the Talking Mats communication framework and comprehensive recording (photographs, audio recordings, video recordings), the lady was able to express the complexity of her emotions and her decision-making skills. This ensured she was able to move into her own flat as she wished.
