"These resources were supported by NHS Education Scotland (www.nes.scot.nhs.uk), and produced by Manchester Metropolitan (Dr Janice Murray, Helen, Bell, Helen Whittle, Osman Javaid) in collaboration with Sara Dale, the ACE Centre (www.acecentre.org.uk ), and Janet Scott, Scottish Centre of Technology for the Communication Impaired (SCTCI)."

Looking for games and activities to do with your students to help them learn to use their communication systems more effectively and engage in social interactions? CALL Scotland to the rescue! Their website provides a wealth of free downloadable games and activities designed to provide fun communication opportunities.

"Below, you'll be able to download a short but constructive and fun communication activity for a youngster who uses AAC. The activities aim to help a student to learn and practise - in other words, use! - his or her communication aid to enjoy interactions with others and build up useful social and communicative experiences. To benefit, you first need to ensure that the Talker is always out of its bag, charged up, and on the table/wheelchair mount ready for daily use. That done, even a 5 minute 'gap' can be turned into a useful communication game. The activities are taken from CALL's 'Keep Talking' book, which was inspired by the teacher who, on one of CALL Scotland's visits, said with some desperation 'I know I'm not doing enough. Somehow, my brain goes all fuzzy - I just can't think of any communication games...'."
