Personal Communication Passports<\/h2>\n

CALL has done some very interesting work on creating support for\u00a0Personal Communication Passports<\/a> –\u00a0Person-centred booklets for those who cannot easily speak for themselves.<\/p>\n

“A way of making sense of formal assessment information and recording the important things about a person.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They have helpful\u00a0support materials such as free templates<\/a>\u00a0and how to print the documents. CALL Scotland also run on-demand training courses<\/a>.<\/p>\n

They are currently working on a\u00a0new iPhone\/iPad App, you can register your interest in the Personal Communication Passports\u00a0app<\/a> to be notified when it is released.<\/p>\n

Webinars<\/h2>\n

CALL is \u00a0currently providing a series of\u00a0webinars<\/a>\u00a0that include demonstrations of using particular software\/apps with a focus on promoting inclusion in your organisation.<\/p>\n

These are very helpful as you can see demonstrations made by those with a high degree of familiarity of the software including representatives from the companies behind the software, \u00a0and ideas for how to use the apps in practice. Also more general help on inclusion topics such as\u00a0Dyslexia.<\/p>\n
