Used this resource from @BarnsleyAT today to conduct a @TalkingMats on what a student feels good about doing with his talker. Then thought about what he'd like to do more of - he chose 'making jokes' & 'telling stories' - lots of fun ahead & he loved setting his own goals!

We were also proud to have the fantastic DisabilityPower100 @beth_moulam delivering the closing keynote. Beth demonstrated the role that #AAC and #AssistiveTech can have and challenged us to go further and faster to ensure services are comprehensive and seamless. #ProudToShare
