Title:
Jemima's
cool Yule
Christmas
is coming, and Jemima is getting ready.
Her lists
are complete – even that secret one to Father Christmas - she knows
what sheÂ’s buying for her friends and family.
But theyÂ’re
not written with pen and paper – they’re scribed through her
Dynavox computer.
By a series
of commands, that now come as second nature, she audibly communicates
with anyone through voice activation – even that Gent in Red - if
he turns up unexpectedly.
Jemima has
cerebral palsy, sheÂ’s profoundly deaf, and cannot talk like most
of us, but that doesnÂ’t mean that she isnÂ’t going to enjoy her
own cool Yule. Nothing is further from the truth.
SheÂ’s
as eager as any other teenager… and so she should be – she even
shares a certain distaste for those Yuletide greeniesÂ… the Brussel
Sprout.
But Christmas
is still a very special time for Jemima and her familyÂ….
