Celebrating assistive and accessible technology in education that allows users to #GetSeen

About this event

CENMAC’s annual assistive technology event allows attendees the opportunity to see first-hand a range of assistive and accessible technology, educational software, communication tools, digital strategies, informative seminars and person-centred approaches.

We invite new and established innovators to Communication Works which includes a diverse selection of AT and AAC companies for those in mainstream education and SEND (including those with physical difficulties, vision and/or hearing impairments, dyslexia, communications needs, or requiring curriculum support).

This year we are collaborating with Ace Centre in Manchester, so we will hold two events in the South (19 May) and North (26 May). So, join us to support getting more people to #GetSeen

Visit https://cenmac.com/programme/ to see the full programmes for South and North and start planning your day!

CENMAC | Kathryn Stowell, Head of CENMAC

CENMAC is a team of specialists who support pupils with assistive technology to access the curriculum and/or to communicate. Located at Charlton Park Academy in southeast London, CENMAC is a unique person-centred service offering assessments, reviews and the loan of equipment. We work across the Greater London area, with pupils and students aged 2 to 25 with Education Health and Care Plans. The students we support can be in mainstream education, special schools, and those who are home educated.

Ace Centre | Anna Reeves DL, CEO

For over 35 years Ace Centre has supported people with alternative and augmentative communication (AAC) and assistive technology (AT) needs. We offer a range of services including assessment, training and information services as well as working with schools through our individually tailored Partnerships. We aim to develop practitioner competencies by offering a side-by-side approach, meaning individuals develop skills and confidence in a guided manner through reflective practice. We achieve positive outcomes by drawing on the experience of our multidisciplinary team of teachers, speech and language therapists, occupational therapists, engineers, and technicians.
