Tamsin

Tamsin, who has cerebral palsy, attends a mainstream primary school. She uses an eye-pointing communication book based on the ACE Centre's Look2Talk system. She also uses a Tellus communication aid with the ACE Centre's Talk Together vocabulary, which she accesses with a knee switch. Tamsin is able to communicate anything she wants using her Look2Talk book. She has a number of peers who are now able to communicate with her completely independently of any adult facilitation. Her younger brother is also able to communicate and play with her using the communication book. Tamsin is also helped to access the curriculum using the Tellus communication aid. Her communication skills are so valued by her peers that they have voted her to be their class representative on the school council.
