So excited for you Ellise Hollie Hayward and for the City Language & Communication Science students who get to see your presentation ๐
What a moving podcast. โIt doesnโt matter how you talk; everyone deserves to be listened toโ Ellise Hollie Hayward - you spoke so eloquently.
On the AAC SIG day. Loved the Tamsin video. So important to have low tech (and amazing support!) to develop language and eye pointing skills. Great to see her journey and to see where she is now as a literate eye gaze user. Thanks Tina Voizey Ace Centre youtu.be/y5morOHXaw0
She has always said sadly โI canโt be Elsa because Iโm brownโ. But today we saw DANIELLE FIAMANYA ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ (The Real Elsa!) in Frozen The Musical and all that changed. Thank you! #RepresentationMatters
A big thank you to Katherine Broomfield and Vicky Styles BCAS for supporting me with my application for an NHSE Workforce, Training and Education โ SW clinical academic award. Excited to take my first official steps into researching #AAC for people with #aphasia ๐ฑ
Iโm for one so thankful there are amazing people like AAC West of England Specialist Team (AAC WEST) who give non-verbal people a voice through high technology. Thank you so much for what you do!โค๏ธ Jill Dando News Good News Post The Priory Learning Trust goodnewspost.co.uk/the-miracle-teโฆ
Will be listening to Rob Burrow CBEโs podcast over breakfast this morning
Had a busy but very good week at work. Had some brilliant AAC user review appointments. Recommended the Tobii Dynavox DAGG-3 for the team to continue supporting their progress and development. Loving this new version ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ๐๐ฝ us.tobiidynavox.com/products/dagg-3
