“Working with CENMAC has been more than a job. It`s been a journey. I`ve seen students transform. I`ve seen families gain hope and I`ve also seen something that is just as important - teachers and staff beginning to believe. Because if AAC is going to work in schools it can`t just be a student thing. It has to be a whole school thing." Abdi Omar, CENMAC AAC Consultant.

Pictured is Khamani Edwards CENMAC`s student ambassador who gave an inspirational speech at our recent event Communication Works. This quote from his keynote speech seems perfect to share on #WorldATDay! "Assistive technology hasn`t just supported me in class, it has unlocked opportunities, it helped me chase my dreams, finish my education, and build a business" Khamani Edwards. You can watch Khamani`s full speech here: https://bit.ly/khamani_keynote

We love this graphic illustration created by Dr Pen Mendonca during Communication Works last week - a summary of the power of believing in AAC - Keynote speaker Abdi Omar said "If AAC is going to work in schools it can`t just be a student thing. It has to be a whole school thing. Everyone from the classroom assistant to the Headteacher has to understand it, respect it and know how to use it." We will be sharing more photos and videos of the day soon! #CW2025 #GetSeen #assistivetechnology #aac #aacaware #communication #inclusion #powerofaac #education #specialeducation #specialeducationalneeds #SEND #wholeschoolapproach @penmendonca

We are very proud of inspirational Communication Works South keynote speaker Khamani Edwards who has such a positive attitude to life and wants all children and young people to be included. He has even setup his own business @kjscrafttime for which he has won young entrepreneurship awards and he’s only 18! He’s a great role model and a fantastic student ambassador for CENMAC! #getseen #cw2025 #assistivetechnology #at #atech #inclusion #dystonia #dystoniaawareness #specialeducationalneeds #send #education @kjscrafttime
