๐ Great for RCSLT ๐ to catch-up with Jennifer Benson this morning. ๐ฃ๏ธ Lots of things discussed, including inclusive communication, #InclusiveParliament petition, and Motor Neurone Disease.


Does anyone know whether it is possible to flag to 999 call centre that the person making a call has communication difficulties and needs longer to explain? Q is for an AAC user (easily accessible phrase in place) but could be anyone with SLC needs. RCSLT ๐
