St. Michael's House Deliver Lámh Session at Dundrum College
Patrick, Allanah and Mikey supported by St. Michael’s House Goatstown Services & Saoirse Hub, alongside staff, recently delivered a Lámh training session for tutors and Special Needs Assistants (SNAs) at Dundrum College.
The session focused on college-specific Lámh signs and highlighted the importance of accessible communication in creating inclusive learning environments. Drawing on their own lived experience, the presenters shared practical insights into how Lámh supports communication, participation, independence and meaningful engagement in everyday life.
This initiative reflects St. Michael’s House’s commitment to empowering people to be active contributors in their communities and ensuring that the voices of people with lived experience are heard, valued and respected. By placing people at the centre of learning, the session demonstrated how person-centred approaches can drive greater understanding, inclusion and opportunity.
The collaboration also supports St. Michael’s House’s strategic focus on promoting inclusion, enhancing communication, fostering meaningful participation and enabling people to reach their full potential. Through partnerships such as this, St. Michael’s House continues to build more inclusive communities where everyone can learn, contribute and thrive.
The session was a powerful example of how lived experience, shared learning and effective communication can create positive change for individuals and organisations alike.
