For some people with communication difficulties, including #stuttering, masks can be problematic as physical cues and expressions are often important when communicating.
It is great to see innovative solutions like this, to help everyone in the community to #StaySafe! https://t.co/feFvWax3X9

We want to work with all levels of government to develop an #accessible #protective #facemask. Here's our prototype.
We want to ensure that people with #hearingconditions can understand information and advice. Lip-reading is essential.
Communication and empowerment are key! https://t.co/gQUrfrUAMn
