The workshop „AAC – Alternative and Auxiliary Communication” was conducted in connection with the workshop series entitled „Understanding People with Disabilities”. The meeting was held on April 26, 2024 at the Medical University of Gdansk.
💬 Participants were able to learn about many types of non-verbal communication methods that substitute or supplement speech, e.g. sign language, pictograms, PCS system, Makaton language and others. Participation in the meeting made it possible to study and understand the communication environment of people with special needs.
💡The meeting contributed to raising public awareness in the academic community of the limitations faced by doctoral students with disabilities.
👥 The workshop seminar was led by Joanna Roczynska, M.D., a lecturer at the Medical University of Gdansk. The presenter has been passionately and dedicatedly telling students about the Deaf, their rich culture and amazing language – Polish Sign Language.
The event organization team of the Full in Science project invites the academic community to the next workshop, which will be held in Krakow soon! Look forward to hearing from you! 🙌
