Communication Resource Centre

 Supporting people with complex communication needs.

The Communication Resource Centre provides information, advice, resources and services relating to the many different aspects of communication disabilities. We aim to increase community awareness and the involvement of people with communication difficulties in their local and broader community. People with complex communication difficulties either cannot speak or have speech that is difficult to understand. They use other ways of communicating. This is called augmentative and alternative communication.

Communication Access is when everyone can get their message across.  Communication access is about shops and services being communication friendly. This symbol will identify places and services as being communication accessible.
