1 Nov: Jonathan Douglas @ Nat Lit Trust

Today we emailed Jonathan Douglas at The National Literacy Trust sending him the Core Words Language Mates we shared with him and Nat Lit last week on Facebook to help him communicate on Friday 5 November when he will do A Day Without Words.We sent him our newsletter Let's FaCE It! to help him know who we are, what we do, and about our campaigns for Literacy and Communication for ALL students, including those with the most significant physical and assumed cognitive disabilities.Download Let's Face It! here:  http://files.me.com/aac.face/arqw27

our email:
Hi Jonathan

Good luck communicating without your voice on Friday! 

Please will you use our Language Mates on Friday.

The words on them should meet 80% or more of everything you would want to say. You can use alphabet and word parts for the rest.

We are campaigning for everyone's right to speak, read and write.

We are promoting the importance of core words, word parts, Literacy, and ALL language functions for ALL learners, including those with the most significant
disabilities.  

Michael cannot speak and uses and electronic communicator.
Andrew and Robert have speech and language difficulties.
We all have learning disabilities.

Thank you,
Michael Reed, Andrew Murray, Gemma Coils, Robert McNicholas and Terry Gibson
FaCE: Facilitating Communication Everywhere!


No reply to email or posts on National Literacy Trust Facebook page! 

Jonathan could have said 80% of everything he wanted to say that day using our language board!
