<p>There is a lot of emphasis on communication partner skills in this resource. That is because communication does not happen in isolation – it is a social act involving two or more people. The person who is communicating with someone who cannot rely on speech needs to develop a range of skills that will enable them to support that person to fulfil their potential.</p>
<p>Please note that this resource is not suggesting that paper-based AAC is ‘best’, or that using paper-based communication resources is a prerequisite to using an electronic communication aid. It is simply about valuing the role of paper-based communication systems, and sharing lots of ideas and strategies to help develop and support them. You may well find that many of the ideas and strategies are useful when it comes to other forms of communication too</p>


Getting Started with Paper-Based Symbol Resources

<p>The aim of this resource is to introduce you to paper-based AAC involving symbols to enable you to support those who can’t rely on speech to communicate. Communication enables us to express ourselves, learn, have fun and be active members of society. Supporting communication with symbols can unlock so many opportunities for those unable to rely upon speech to communicate.</p>

<p>The design of our Ace Centre E-Tran frame has been carefully considered to give the best experience for both user and communication partner.</p>
<p>This ergonomic and lightweight board allows for holding with elbows locked making it more comfortable to use for longer periods than other E-Tran frames. Extensive testing was applied by Ace Centre to find the best font and colours for ease of use and identification of letters.</p>
<p>The text has been printed directly onto the plastic to make it easier to wipe down. It’s manufactured from PET-G, a thermoplastic polyester, which means the Ace Centre E-Tran is longer lasting with improved chemical resistance during decontamination procedures.</p>
