James’s Story
Finding a Voice Through Multi Me
James is a student at Abingdon & Witney College, where Multi Me and RIX Wiki are being used within the Pathways and Life Skills provision to support communication, self-expression and greater independence.
James does not use speech and uses computers and assistive technology to communicate his views and thoughts. His mum, Theresa Clark, described the impact that using Multi Me had on him:
“Multi Me has been life changing for James as it has progressed his computer skills and his organisation of ideas.”
Theresa continued:
“My son James cannot speak at all due to strokes at birth. He uses computers and enabling software to enable his views and thoughts to be known.
Multi Me has been life changing for James as it has progressed his computer skills and his organisation of ideas. In addition it gives James a platform to express himself and he is certainly springboarding into life!
Abingdon and Witney College (Pathways and Life Skills) are using the Multi Me and My Wiki concept in such a superb way and enabling interaction and communication on an amazing level. I can never thank them enough for introducing Multi Me to James.”
