I don't normally directly post on between links, but I think this message is of great use to many of our clients (see below) with communication difficulties.

Contact 999 by SMS text
We have recently come across this service for people with speech and/or hearing impairments which allows them to text 999 and might work well for some people who use AAC.
Simply register with the service and then in an emergency the person using AAC can text which service is required, the issue and where help is needed.
For more information go to:
www.emergencysms.org.uk
or
