ALT A research recruitment advertisement reads, Exploring the use of AAC by children and young people with Down syndrome: perspectives of speech and language therapists. Who can participate? We are seeking the views and experiences of UK speech and language therapists who support or have recently supported children and young people with Down syndrome aged 3 to 18 years. The aim of this research is to find out about your experiences and perceptions of unaided AAC (e.g. keyword signing) and aided AAC (e.g. symbols or voice output communication aids) in supporting the communication of children and young people with Down syndrome. Participation will involve the completion of an online survey containing a mix of open and closed questions, taking approximately 45 to 60 minutes to complete. To access the survey or to find out more please use this link - https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/dundee/aac-slt-perspectives or email Elaine Scougal - [email protected]

ALT A recruitment poster for a research study. It reads 'Exploring the use of AAC to facilitate the expressive communication of children and young people with Down's syndrome. Who can participate? Children with Down’s syndrome (aged 5-15 years) in Scotland who use voice output communication aids and their caregivers. Wider members of their team or social circle may be invited to share experiences. The aim of the research is to find out more about how children and young people with Down's syndrome and surrounding stakeholders view and manage AAC and how they are being supported. Participation will involve caregiver interviews and in person interactive activities with the child (completed over one or two visits). Data will be collected via a range of methods including interviews, visually supported discussions and observations. To find out more please contact Elaine Scougal, the primary researcher, via [email protected] '
