Kati's Story in 'Communication Matters' Journal

Early this year I wrote an article about my experience with AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication), from learning to sign at 16 when I went deaf to learning how to use a Lightwriter communication aid recently.

I never heard anything back so didn't relaise they had printed it in their April Journal until someone recently sent me a copy via email.

I have attached it (i hope) so hopefully you should be able to read it, please let me know if you are unable to view it. It is a pdf file so if you have adobe reader it should open it automatically, or select adobe reader if it asks you 'open with'

For Mac Users (Lit!) 'Preview' will open it automatically!

This is amazing Kati! Great job. I had a hard time printing it so I embedded it in Scribd. You can also embed the file in your blog using Scribd.

I never heard of Scribd but it makes the writing very tiny, some people may have difficulty with that. if it comes up in adobe rader/preview can zoom in etc
