Natspec Peer Exchange Week: Thanks
Thank you to all that contributed to the TechAbility session: Making it fun: The importance of motivation in using Assistive Technology.
We covered Smart devices, Speech and Language Therapy using TikTok and much more. If you are interested in presenting next year then please email neil.harrodbeck@natspec.org.uk. We can help you to prepare and deliver, even if it’s your first time.
Bluesky: Skeets
Many of you are supporting people to stay in touch and access their interests through social media. If you are looking for a simple and transparent platform then Bluesky is now available. Many prefer the lack of adverts and a feed that shows only who you are following.
Skeets is a 3rd party iOS / iPad OS client for Bluesky to make it more accessible. The app offers a native look & feel that makes iOS & iPad OS users feel right at home. It has been optimised for accessibility, and they are aiming to improve this further to offer users a Bluesky experience without barriers.
