November 2025
We are delighted to award our November Student of the Month to Kendrick a pupil at R.J Mitchell Primary School.
Kendrick was nominated by CENMAC Specialist Teaching Assistant Lesley Mier. Lesley said “Kendrick has an iPad Pro and stylus pen to support his learning and he is doing a good job of concentrating and staying at his seat in class. He is now proficient at working his way around his device. He was able to show me the Education City app on his ipad which he enjoys and the number blocks app is his favourite. I am very impressed with his progress and congratulate him on his determination”.
Sonia Sylvester, SENDCo at The Aspire Learning Federation said “Kendrick is very enthusiastic and works very hard in school, despite his visual challenges. He is very keen and eager to use his AAC device for his learning. It helps him feel included and independent while completing tasks. He is very confident and able to navigate around his device independently. The maths and literacy games are always greatly received.”
October 2025
We are delighted to award our October Student of the Month to Tianna a Yr 11 student at Charlton Park Academy. Tianna uses power based AAC to support her communication. The CENMAC team have been so impressed by how Tianna embraces her talker and has such a positive attitude.
Class teacher Amber Moore said “Since being introduced to an AAC device, Tianna has shown great enthusiasm in exploring and learning how to use it effectively in various contexts. She not only uses her device during lessons but also during playtime, actively engaging with her peers. Tianna’s spoken language has improved significantly – she is now communicating more both at school and at home. Realising that she has a voice and can express herself has boosted her confidence, enabling her to use her communication skills in the wider community, such as ordering drinks in a café and talking to distant family members.
Congratulations Tianna!
