Thanks to the CENMAC team who helped with this important endeavour. I won't be so brash as to say who won, but I will say that the person who did win scored 100% and is modestly chuffed. Thanks Yorkshire Tea for this glorious opportuniTEA.

Best speaker so far at #ISAACConferenceCancun : Jamie Preece explains his unique and innovative way he builds his own vocabulary by collecting words and adding them to his device. He never wanted to be put in a 'box' so made his own #AAC vocab thanks to his love of words.

Day 4 of #ISAACConferenceCancun and I've got 10 minutes to write some tweets - it's literally been that busy. Great atmosphere, fantastic speakers, well done ISAAC
