CENMAC is delighted to welcome visitors to our annual event, Communication Works South (#CW2024).
This is a great opportunity for visitors to see a range of assistive and accessible technology, communication tools, digital strategies and person-centred approaches first-hand.
It is a chance for our students to demonstrate how they access the curriculum and/or communicate using assistive technology and the achievements they have made.
