Right to Speak

CALL Scotland was commissioned by NHS Education for Scotland (NES) through the A Right to Speak initiative, to develop materials to help raise awareness of AAC and ways of providing communication support, aimed primarily at people who have little or no previous experience of communication disability.

Background

The 'A Right to Speak' Report, commissioned by Scottish Government, was published in June 2012. Funding was made available for a three year period (2012-2015) to raise awareness of AAC, to enhance the provision and support of AAC services and equipment, and to build a base ensuring a sustainable future for good quality AAC services in Scotland.
