Oxford communication technology support centre to remain open following creation of national specialist ACE organisation
14 June 2012. Two leading charities have today announced plans to develop a national service for individuals in England with communication needs and ensure that a vital site in Oxford remains open.
The merger of the ACE Centres in Oxford and Oldham will ensure the Oxford site, which previously faced closure at the end of June, will continue to provide independent advice, assessments and training to enable access to technology for individuals, including children, with significant communication needs. The move is to be financed by investment from the ACE Centre in Oldham, and will also use an existing grant from the Department for Education to develop national services providing support in the areas of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and Assistive Technology (AT).
