Every year we hold Communication Works in the spring or summer term. This exhibition and seminar day aims to promote awareness and allows visitors to find out about assistive technology.
Communication Works began in 2008 and we have had many great speakers and companies share their knowledge with us, as well as students, families and professionals gain a lot from the day.
