Such an interesting morning at the @AACGroupIre study day. Learning about ‘SayIt!’ from EnabO founder @OwenMcGirr and the importance of the individual who uses AAC being the key stakeholder in decision-making.
Another chance to share the animation and clinical docs around this project presented by @SltDoyle for @AACGroupIre
All docs available online mnd.ie
To accompany our docs, this animation gives simple information on #messagebanking and #voicebanking youtu.be/a6e1_mq3DbY via @YouTube
with thanks and credit to animator @alanearly and voice over kindly recorded by @lawlor_aine @Beaumont_SLT @centralremedial @ClinSpeechTCD
Next up @AACGroupIre is @owenmcgirr with his EnabO apps speaking about the need for intuitive design in app layout and the need for AAC users to be in full control of decision making around their systems
How to rope OT’s into AAC assessments... Catherine Durcan from @centralremedial giving a great overview of the OT skillset @AACGroupIre
