Ms Claire Mortell:

It would be constantly reviewed. The in-school therapist would be able to provide feedback about what is working well, how the vocabulary within the device could be developed and what is useful both in a home and school setting. Families are so keen. Children are not just in their home; they are out in their communities. If we really want to be progressive towards inclusion, the more people in the community see AAC devices, whether it is a child in the library or at the playground, the better. It creates interest. As we said earlier, their peers are interested in technology. Sometimes, it is the adults who might be a little bit more unsure about AAC.
