We’re in Watford today for our #Paediatric #AirwayClearance Study day. Great to see AHP’s from all over the UK make the journey to join the discussions. Thanks to @Lisa_A_Edel, @HellaCranney and Caroline Shaw for some excellent talks around Acute #NMD management 🙂

Well we knew this was coming but much sooner than expected. Apple are bringing their own eye-gaze to iPads and iPhones using the built-in camera. Let's see how it compares with the traditional trackers, but this could be highly disruptive. #AAC

I is for me! Nothing about me without me! #AAC gives me a voice that can be heard, it means my views, feelings and thoughts can be shared. #AAC promotes #inclusion and reduces social #Isolation. #AACaware23

"I can see you looking at the pink paint, are you choosing that for your art project?"

Unaided communication includes non-verbal communication, like body language, facial expressions gestures, and signing e.g. Makaton.

It is important to honour these as forms of communication.

[Abbi Songhurst @abbisonghurst]

Such an important message 🙌🏽 you wouldn’t leave your voice at home or in your bag - so make sure AAC users have access to their device at all times! #aacawarenessmonth

[Beth Moulam @beth_moulam]

In my A-Z of AAC then A is for always having access to your #AAC device. Would you leave your voice at home or zipped in your bag? Please make sure we have our resources anytime, anyplace, anywhere, even in bed. #AACaware23

[AssistiveWare @AssistiveWare]

Some people use #AAC part-time. While spoken words might not be accessible, AAC is endless. Always being able to communicate is freedom!
