1 Voice Teenage Project 'Moving On Up' was at the Hayes Conference Centre, Derby 19-21 June.
We were given an outline of the workshops so we could programme our communication aids before the weekend with introductions, special interests, who we like talking to, who our role models are, and the different ways role models can tell people about AAC.
We talked about reasons for using communication aids with different people in different places, and made a collage with photos we brought with us and some we took on the day.
I interviewed the speech therapy students to find out what they had learnt about about AAC after volunteering on a 1 Voice weekend.
On Sunday we gave talks and practiced the presentations we will be giving at the Communication Matters conference in September. Nadia tells us the history of 1 Voice:
Watch more 1 Voice movies on YouTube. Our YouTube username is 1voicemovies.
1 Voice is a group of children and young people who use communication aids and their families, friends, role models and volunteers.
Some of us have been coming to 1 Voice events for 10 years now and we graduated as AAC Role Models at the weekend.
