Hello Amplify Portland!
Below, you will find the third draft of our script for the “My Friend Blue” pilot. It is currently under review with the fine people at CommunicationFIRST, an organization founded “To protect and advance the rights, autonomy, opportunity, and dignity of people with speech-related disabilities through public engagement, policy and practice change, and systemic advocacy.” This is because our script features Penny, a non-speaking autistic child, who communicates through a system of cards rather than speech.
Once we’ve gotten feedback from them, promised by the end of the first week of October, we will be getting a round of feedback from established contacts at the Autism Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) as well. Please enjoy!
Click here for Version 3 of our pilot script. Please keep in mind that we are in conversation to change Blue’s name to “Azulito,” hence the name in the script.
