About the Event
Communication Works (#CW2025 #GetSeen) is a free event providing a platform for our CENMAC students to “get seen” and to celebrate their achievements. It is an opportunity for the SEND community to come together and see first hand how our children and young people access the curriculum and/or communicate using assistive technology (AT) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
The event gives visitors the chance to see a range of assistive and accessible technology, communication tools, digital strategies and person-centred approaches first hand with a seminar programme featuring CENMAC Advisory Teachers alongside product experts from a wide range of assistive technology companies. Some of our CENMAC students participate in the seminars and demonstrate the technology showing visitors how the technology works in practice.
More details will be available soon.

Exhibition
The exhibition space provides our visitors with a great opportunity to become familiar with the latest innovations in assistive technology. We invite a mix of established companies as well as start ups and give them the opportunity to showcase their products and demonstrate how they can be implemented in school or at home.
