Presented by Gayle Porter and Claire Cotter, CPEC, Melbourne, Australia

For some children with complex communication needs, it is the method of accessing the Augmentative and
Alternative Communication (AAC) system that is significantly affecting their development of intelligible,
autonomous communication. These children, who have significant physical and/or sensory challenges, often
need to learn movements to access AAC systems.
This intensive 5-day workshop will provide participants with an in depth opportunity to explore the
movement differences associated with cerebral palsy, other significant neurological movement impairments
(eg Rett Syndrome, Prader Willi Syndrome), and severe sensory processing challenges. There will be a focus
on identifying these posture and movement challenges in relation to their impact on communication
development, assessment and intelligibility. A range of strategies and a process to teach movements for
communication will be demonstrated.

The workshop is held in Toulouse, France
