Last Saturday saw a huge turn out at the Newark County Show where Portland College was promoting our services.
Lots of positive interest and proud to say AT/AAC/SLT was involved showcasing some of the equipment/ software we use.

Look out for this new symbol in shops and businesses. It means staff have been trained in how to interact with people who have difficulties communicating.

@RCSLT is behind the initiative, and its president @Nick_Hewer of Countdown and Apprentice fame, spoke to 5 News about it.

[AAC AT and Digital Engagement @Portland_AAC]

Just wondering if any #aac people could help us at all. Does anyone know of any UK distributor of keyguards for iPads, specifically for use with @proloquo2go? We have looked online but, so far, can only find U.S. sellers. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
