In
1989 the Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC)
Research Unit was established at the University of Stirling.
It is an interdisciplinary team involving speech and language
therapists, psychologists, occupational therapists, dietitians,
sociologists and linguists. Although our work was originally
concerned with the communication of people with cerebral palsy,
we are now involved with people with different disabilities,
congenital and acquired.
We place a great
deal of emphasis on producing practical outcomes from our
projects. Our work is based on the philosophy that people
with disabilities should be actively involved in Research.
The
Talking Mats team expanded and moved to new premises on 1st
September 2009. We are looking forward to pursuing new projects,
new business opportunities, and accommodating the increase
in demand for our products and training. |
