A TEENAGER has been given help to communicate by the Darlington Rotary Club.
Angela Ferguson, 17, has cerebral palsy, is in a wheelchair and has very little speech.
But the £400 donation from the club has allowed her teachers and parents to buy a communication device, which can be used at home.
She has been using the technology, which records voices and is operated by switches on her wheelchair, at Beaumont Hill Special School, in Darlington, since Easter last year, but until now has not had this kind of technology at home.
Rotary Club president Alan Charlton presented the cheque to Angela and her parents on Tuesday.
