18 Jan: LD Parliament

Today I gave two talks at the Learning Disability Parliament and asked members to support my campaigns for everyone with speech and language difficulties to get the technology and teaching they need to speak, read and write, and to meet AAC role models who are good at altenative communication.

2 Jan: ICT, Literacy & Gaming



Got me a nice little touchscreen laptop and a nice big TV to plug it and my X Box into. Great!

Christmas

12 Dec: Quads & BBQ

Turkey & Tinsell at Hardwick Park quad bikes with DADLG! Andrew had his ride on the quads. When we got home we all helped to put lights on the big tree in the garden, my bedroom and the living room.

4-6 Dec: Big Challenge Residential


Getting to know the other Big Challenge winners and the Youth Leadership Team at Trafford Hall, Chester. Abby, Carl and Joe from UnLtd and Laura, Anna and Tiana from Changemakers were there. Big Challenge is a project of UnLtd and Changemakers.

We had a great weekend of interactive training in project management, with lots of fun and games, and all the winners did a 5 minute presentation about their project.

My Flip camera conked out so I don't have video of my talk, but I did it again at the LD Parliament and will post that when it's edited.

11 Dec: KK2 Disco


I don't like dressing up but most people did. Had a great night with KK2 and the Stay Up Late Campaign.
