In this capacity, he has been involved in the production of numerous works: performances, shows, sound installations and lectures (Kunsten Festival, Festival d’Automne, Palais de Tokyo, Théâtre de Montreuil, MAMCO Geneva, Festival des Arts de la parole Bordeaux, KAAT Yokohama, etc.). He is also the author of several works of poetry and prose (Leo Scheer, Les Petits Matins, Argol).

Project APHA 114 : Multimodal emergency calls for people with aphasia

In an inclusive society, the organization of emergency calls must welcome the caller’s various communicative and cognitive abilities. This paper relies on a collaborative project involving members of an association of people with aphasia, various professionals from emergency call centers, speech therapists, and a team of sociologists. The main objective was to train emergency specialists for the reception of emergency video calls implying a person with aphasia. Learning to use pictograms during these calls is a major aspect of this training. link: https://aphasie-fnaf.fr/les-aphasiques/urgence-114/
