About Communication Works
Communication Works brings together the SEND community to celebrate the achievements of children and young people using assistive technology (AT) and augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
Visitors can see first-hand how technology and communication tools help young people access the curriculum, overcome barriers to learning and express themselves. Most importantly, the event provides a platform for their voices to be heard and their achievements to be celebrated.
Showcasing Assistive and Accessible Technology
Discover a wide range of assistive and accessible technology, communication tools and digital strategies. Explore innovative solutions, practical approaches and person-centred ways of using technology to support learning, communication and inclusion.
Seminar Programme
The Communication Works South seminar programme runs throughout the day, featuring special guest speakers, CENMAC’s team of Advisory Teachers, Speech and Language Therapists and Occupational Therapists, alongside product experts from leading assistive technology companies.
Children and young people also take part in some of the seminars, demonstrating the technology they use and sharing how it supports them in everyday learning and communication.
Exhibition Space
Our exhibition space gives visitors the opportunity to explore the latest innovations in assistive and accessible technology.
We bring together a mix of established companies and exciting new start-ups, giving visitors the chance to discover new products, speak directly with suppliers and see how different technologies can be used to support learning, communication and everyday life, both at school and at home.
