What My Meaning is and what it isn't

  • Agreed practical communication strategies
  • Everyday communication observations
  • Collaboration between approved supports
  • Participant-controlled sharing

My Meaning is not for

  • clinical case notes
  • medical records
  • formal assessments
  • diagnoses
  • treatment plans
  • medication records
  • behaviour support plans
  • restrictive-practice records
  • incident reports
  • emergency reporting
  • clinical decision-making
  • replacing a practitioner’s practice management system

Medical or safety concern?

My Meaning is not monitored for emergencies. Follow the participant’s established health, emergency, incident or safeguarding procedures whenever immediate action may be required.
