Literacy camp for kids who use augmentative and alternative communication and the professionals who are interested in supporting their literacy learning.
Leaving aside the gross incompetence of a medical staff that thinks the only way to communicate is by hearing and talking, this is a fascinating true story by Radiolab. Emile is locked in her body following a horrific traffic accident. Her boyfriend finally figures out how to communicate with her by spelling with his finger on her wrist.
Camp ALEC blog. Worth checking out for info about the literacy/AAC camp, about the Alec G. Cunningham Foundation, and more. Dates already announced for August 2016. Amazing experience for all.
