Petition for the provision of illustrated / photo hand-held menus in cafes

Petition summary and background

Speakability offers support to people with Aphasia, who have communication problems following a stroke, head injury, brain tumour or other neurological condition.

People with Aphasia know what they want to say; they just have trouble finding the right words. They can enjoy social activities just like everyone else if communication tools, such as illustrated / photo hand-held menus, are provided by coffee shop and café owners.

Action

We, the undersigned, support the Speakability ‘Speak About Aphasia Month’ Campaign (June 2009) calling on café and coffee shop owners to offer illustrated / photo hand-held menus for their customers.
