So sad on hearing that Sr Mary Threadgold has passed away. I first knew Sr Mary when she was an inspirational, pioneering speech and language therapist working in Temple Street Children's Hospital, Dublin in the late 1960s and 1970's. At that time , she was also an influential tutor, lecturer, clinical supervisor and role model for Ireland's first cohort of speech and language therapy students. Later, through her pioneering work in the area of optimised communication, I knew her as she enabled and advocated for those who appreciated her insightful understanding of individualised communication styles. For many people with dementia and many people with intellectual disability, Sr Mary continued to inspire professionals, carers , peers and families alike, when communicating, to reflect a sense of fun, wonderful flexibility and a spirit of generosity. She never ceased to use her unique talents, love of music and her good works to benefit others. May her gentle soul rest in peace.
