We asked our members: “Why do you want to be part of CHAT Society?”
Daralynn – President, CHAT Society
INCREASE SERVICES
The main reason I wanted to start the CHAT society was because there is a lack of services for people with communication difficulties.
Fortunately for me, since I got injured while at work, I had a lot of therapy, but for most people, the lack of speech therapy is alarming.
INCREASE COMMUNITY
I also think it is important to bring this community together. I don’t fit into any other community.
I really want people who have communication challenges to be able to share who they are and have a place to do that. We have a lot to offer – we have skills and passions from before our injuries – and we need groups that have people in it who want to get to know us as people.
INCREASE AWARENESS and KNOWLEDGE
I am also passionate about communication access in health care. I want to make sure that people know how to communicate with someone who has communication challenges.
