Can CALL Scotland Help?

CALL Scotland has been using assistive technology to support learners with communication difficulties for 35 years. We can provide advice and training in augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) and assistive technology. CALL has a Loan Bank of equipment that can be used to evaluate how well different devices can meet the needs of individuals with disabilities in Scotland

We are happy to work in collaboration with other organisations to help ensure that children and adults who have lost their voice, or have difficulty speaking are provided with the communication equipment and support that they need.
