    Really glad to hear that about Craig y Parc ..it was Ingfield I was told had not put anyone in for GCSEs about 5 years ago.  And I can vouch for how nice Communication Matters are...I became a Trustee in September !!  Thanks for the link, I was a bit slow off the mark there.  Another org for wider support for the AAC user and family is www.1Voice.info
    That's great! Preaching to the converted :)

    Do you know anyone who does what you do as a buy-in service? As far as I can tell my borough has nothing on offer and there aren't any local specialist schools with the expertise. I think it's down to me to find someone like you to help my son.  Thank you.
    Unfortunately I don't know of anyone who offers a service like that. Which borough are you in? I'll put something up on my twitter to see if we can find anyone, it's a great tool to find professionals out there that are hard to find!

    We are in London. I did hear of a lovely chap who does this sort of thing but he's in Leeds! Someone a touch more local would be great.  We've had Cenmac input but it's one annual visit, followed by a report and a voucher for training.  It doesn't go very far. Thanks very much.

    I've not had much luck on twitter unfortunately. It might be worth getting in touch with Daisy at Smartbox. She's an Assistive Technologist and Speech and Language Therapist who is based in London, so even if she wasn't able to help you personally she may know someone who could?

    Smartbox have also got a great community facebook page, so there may be others who could help via that way.
