What is revoicing and why is it considered a legitimate AAC practice?
Welcome to Talking with Tech, I'm your host Rachel Medle, joined as always by Chris Bugay. Hey Chris!
Hey Rachel. All right. So I've been teasing Communication Matters and some of the um awesome experiences I had there. I want to dive right in with one of the sessions that I went to because there was a new concept to me that I had not heard of before. I'll be curious if you've heard of it. Um And I'm gonna set it up with the story of how this goes. And I uh should say that I hope to interview the people that were conducting this session so we can get even deeper into it. Because, you know, there's a little bit of the telephone game here is that uh these people were presenting and I met with them and now I'm gonna kind of try and summarize my thoughts on it but and and recap it. But let's just try and get it right from them, right?
Okay. So One of the nights, uh, and I'll talk uh deeper about this in the future, uh, was this thing called an open mic night where the AAC users um go to a bar and it's the it was on a college campus, so it was a college bar, it was open to anybody, and they do the open mic stuff. I'm gonna talk more about that on a different podcast. That's not what I want to talk about today. So foreshadowing for future. Um One of the people that uh was sort of a star at Communication Matters two thousand twenty three was this guy named Jamie, and he's married to uh someone named Emma. Okay. So Jamie uh is an AAC user, Emma is not, and they're a married couple. And I I had heard whispers of Jamie, uh, oh, you gotta go to Open Mike Knight.
Jamie's so funny, so funny. And he he had sort of uh made a name for himself at the 2003 one. So we were setting up for this 2004 one, right? So as I go to the bar and I'm there with Melissa and meeting all these people. Um There is uh uh I meet Jamie and his wife Emma. And what's happening is Jamie has his communication device and he's chatting with his communication device, but also Amy is Aim Emma is popping, you know, piping in and we're just having a conversation all together and can't wait to listen to your set and all that kind of stuff, right? Right. Um and I'm I have been in many interactions like this in my career where there's um either a couple or there is um you know someone with uh a parent, you know, with a with a kid that's using AAC.
Um And so whatever, the the night goes on, next thing. But then I'm flipping through the uh the program and I see there's a session called Joyce for the Revoice or Rejoicing the Revoicing, something like that. I'll get the I'll get it I'll get it right and we'll have it in the show notes. But um Rejoicing Around Revoicing The whole thing, whatever the title was, was about this concept of re voicing. And so I ask you now, have you heard of it before?
No.
No, I hadn't either, right? Um, now let me just uh shout out a few people here. Um, Joanna Holmes. I got to spend some time with her. Joanna Holmes has been on the podcast, a longtime listener, great friend. Uh uh again, uh more stories to come about giving hugs to people I had not had not met in person and having great experiences with them. So more to come with about uh Joanna and those experiences. But Joanna was in this session. And then our friend Jarlie Danger was there. Um big shout out to Charlie Danger because um we got to actually hang out with Charlie a little bit after the conference. Um Charlie lives in London, so we went to London. We got to meet up with him and he He got to uh give us some some uh little uh scavenger hunt of go things to find in London and do in London that were not like necessarily the big thing.
So Charlie, just a shout out to you, had a brilliant time with you. Um so much fun. Again, I'll probably be talking about that uh in the future. But Charlie was in the session as well. And so I was there and there was more, right? And so I think it was a relatively new concept for for Joanna. Uh maybe not, but um and Charlie. And then we got to I got to have conversations with Charlie and Joanna afterwards around this concept.
