Do you know a child with Cerebral Palsy (CP) who has difficulties communicating? 

We are inviting people who have cared for or worked with non-verbal children with Cerebral Palsy (aged 7 to 11 years) to participate in a research study to help develop communication technology for these children.
We are a team of researchers from the School of Computing and Communications at The Open University, UK. You can learn more about this project at: http://a3cp.org.uk/
We are looking for participants who are carers, or domain experts, to create written documentation of how non-verbal children with CP aged 7 to 11 communicate their meaning.
Participating in this research is a great way for you and children with CP to have an impact on efforts to improve communication tools for those who cannot speak and struggle to use current solutions.
We hope you can help us in this research to help children communicate and empower people to express their thoughts, needs and desires.
Kind Regards, 
Dmitri Katz
