AAC Talk

We had a fabulous talk on Saturday by Liezl about AAC - Augmented and alternate communication.  Liezl discussed the various forms of communication with our special non-communicative children stressing the point that each child is different and the requirements for communication will differ greatly depending on each child's needs.  We had a great attendance - about 28 in total with 6 being from our group and the rest being a mixture of parents and teachers/therapists from various schools.  I hope everyone found the talk informative and helpful.  I will post a few photos later on today.  If anyone would like to get any more information on this subject please leave a comment on this post.  A big thanks to Sheila for organising the venue and to all those who brought eats.

As you can see I have been very slack at updating this blog but would like to get it up and going again.  If any of you have any ideas for topics or would like to do some updates yourself please let me know.   Our next meeting is scheduled for 8 September, venue still to be decided.
