Is it worth finding out if anyone else has prepared business cases for their
AAC commissioners and keeping on the wiki? Sounds like a useful resource.

Hi Akplan,
We were fortunate that our Commissioner asked us to write a Business Case to
fund an Communication and Assistive Technology Service in East Kent. With
funding for Staff and for Equipment.
I can send you a copy if you so wish.
It may not answer your specific question, but may help.
regards,
Matthew Pepper

Dear All
I am currently helping a Speech Therapist to put a case to the commissioner
to fund communication aids for adults in our district who require this type
of equipment. However, before we go banging our commissioner's door, I
wanted to check how other SLT departments and professional colleagues
provide this type of equipment to adults in their area.
Kind regards

Hi All
For those who remember the Forget-Me-Not clock from the ASTRID project, I
have found this interesting digital alternative,
http://www.play.com/Electronics/Electronics/4-/9481354/Philips-AJL308-7-
Digital-Photoframe-With-Alarm-Clock-Radio/Product.html?ptsl=1&ob=Price&f

It's available at less than half this price from CPC (no detailed product
info on site though)
Cheers
