Michael reading to his English teacher, Helen Moore.

 

Helen made Michael his first Makaton dictionary for Wellington Square, and asked for a spare set of our Minspeak pages to cut up and Pritt Stick the file paths to each word alongside the Makaton ones.

Michael soon progressed to using Minspeak only.

Over the years, the Wellington Square vocabulary has grown to more than the words shown above, but I don't know the total number of words accessed. Michael is sometimes given the lines for a play, or invited to deliver short presentations on a given topic.

Helen reported to a core team meeting in October 2003 that Michael often uses the spelling and word prediction function on his communication aid instead of the icon sequences.
