Celebrating Our CENMAC Students
We love celebrating the achievements of our CENMAC students and recognising the progress they make every day.
Does one of the CENMAC students at your school deserve a special mention? Are they making great use of their assistive technology to support their learning, communication or independence?
We’d love to hear about them and celebrate their success!

This month, we’re delighted to award our Student of the Month to Jaden from Tuke School.
CENMAC Assistant Practitioner Ciara nominated Jaden, saying:
“Jaden can switch his AAC between Spanish and English, depending on who he is talking to.”
Assistant Headteacher Ellis Branson from Tuke School also shared how Jaden’s iPad and Grid software have helped him develop greater independence in communication:
“Using Grid on his iPad has given Jaden a real sense of independence in communicating with others. He can navigate through different categories to find the symbols he wants to use to comment, request and share his ideas.
“He particularly loves using the joke-telling function, which has been a brilliant way for his personality and sense of humour to shine through. It has been wonderful to see his confidence grow as he uses his device to communicate and connect with the people around him.”
Well done, Jaden! It’s fantastic to see your confidence, independence and personality shining through.

Congratulations Sohamdip!
