Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC): Supporting Local Provision and Public Involvement (PI)

About this Event

Although we don’t know what impact Covid-19 has had on children and young people, research suggests that they are at even greater risk of isolation if they have severe physical disabilities that affect the intelligibility of their speech. Facilitated by Professor Janice Murray, this workshop will share findings from the NIHR-funded Identifying Appropriate Symbol Communication (I-ASC) research project, which supported the identification of appropriate communication technology to increase the independence and participation of children with these additional needs.

Highlighting I-ASC in its review of ‘studies with important findings for those who commission, deliver, work in and use health and healthcare services for people with learning disabilities’ NIHR remarked that it was ‘ground-breaking in the way that it has involved children with severe communication difficulties in co-producing the research.' Together, attendees will explore free resources that can support children, families and professionals to enhance communication outcomes with contributions from the public involvement (PI) co-researchers who were integral members of the team.
