I am an AAC Consultant for a national charity called Ace Centre, working as part of a multidisciplinary team of AAC Consultants, delivering the NHS England Specialised service for providing AAC / Communication tools, as well as providing charitable support and advice to anyone who needs guidance around Assistive Technology and Alternative, Augmentative Communication. Previous to joining Ace Centre I had a seventeen-year teaching career beginning in Primary before moving into special education, teaching young people with ASC, MLD, SLD, PMLD and complex needs. My role at Ace Centre focuses on supporting partnering schools, mentoring and training educational staff in providing inclusive education through the use of Alternative, Augmentative, Communication and Assistive Technology, to facilitate independence and ensure pupil voice is heard.
