Communication Works Event
Posted By: Anthony, 222 days ago
We were very proud to be asked to attend the Communication Works Event hosted by Charlton School in Charlton, South East London recently. This annual event is organised by CENMAC which is a unique London-based support service offering assessment, reviews and loan of equipment to help pupils access the curriculum using assistive technology.
CENMAC invite disabled students from across the London Borough of Greenwich, their teachers, parents and carers as well as SENCO’s and Speech & Language therapists. The exhibition includes representatives from suppliers of a variety of assistive technologies. JustDifferent took a stand and we were delighted to talk to lots of students who were interested in our job opportunities; as well as a number of teachers and SENCO’s who felt that our workshops would greatly benefit their schools.
The highlight of the day was Toby’s inspirational talk entitled ‘My achievements with AAC’. Despite being given a slot towards the end of the day the meeting room was packed to capacity. The presentation was extremely well received, there were so many questions at the end that Toby’s session over ran and he had to continue answering them in the corridor outside to make way for the next presenter!
All in all this was a very worthwhile event, we met some interesting people and CENMAC and Charlton School should be applauded for their efforts.
