We were absolutely thrilled to see our client Gavin Clifton take part in a live interview on BBC Radio Wales with the wonderful Lynn Bowles, using his Smartbox AAC TalkPad 8 device.
For Gavin, this was a huge moment. He never imagined that live radio would be possible for him, and yet there he was, confidently sharing his story and promoting his latest children’s book, Anya and the Enchanted Wheelchair. The interview ran so smoothly and was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when the right technology, preparation and support come together.
During the interview, Gavin spoke openly about how he uses AAC, how cerebral palsy affected him growing up, his family life, his work around accessibility and inclusion, and the inspiration behind his new book. Hearing his voice, in every sense, reach such a wide audience was incredibly moving.
We were proud to be there as Gavin’s media support team, supporting an interview that showcased not just a brilliant author, but the importance of inclusive media and accessible communication.
A huge thank you to Lynn Bowles and the BBC Radio Wales team for making this such a positive and memorable experience, and massive congratulations to Gavin for smashing live radio.
