  Written quote: Kenny

'I don't want to be patronised just because I have a communication board. It doesn't mean I'm stupid.

'I can think, interact and make choices using my board.

'I think the toolkit is a good idea. It will be useful to help staff understand that I use a board and will encourage them to use it to communicate with me properly.

'My board doesn't always have the answers, so ask me questions and I'll let you know if you're on the right track.

'Please give me lots of help and time and try to be patient. It can take me a while to get my message across. it's important to keep trying.'
