CM ROAD SHOWS

Want to update your knowledge of AAC equipment & software?

The CM Road Shows (formerly CASC Road Shows) are organised by Communication Matters and held throughout the UK. They are great opportunities for you to see and hear all about the latest communication aid technology from some of the UK's leading AAC suppliers. What's more, they are free of charge to attend!

The CM Road Show is a valuable opportunity to learn about communication aid technology directly from a number of the UK's leading manufacturers and suppliers of voice output communication aids, AAC software and related products. There will be opportunities for questions and hands-on trial of systems.

The presenters will be representatives from around 10 companies, which will include a selection of the following: Crick Software, DynaVox Systems/Mayer-Johnson, Inclusive Technology, Liberator,  Madhouse Software Productions, Possum AAC, Prentke Romich International, Quality Enabling Devices, Richard Hill Associates, Sensory Software/SmartBox AT, Techcess, Toby Churchill, Widgit Software.

Each Road Show starts at 9.30am and finishes at 3.00pm (registration 9.00-9.30am). After a short introduction, there are usually 6 sessions during the day. In each session, all the companies present parallel workshops and participants can choose to attend any workshop. Each workshop is repeated in each session throughout the day.
