The City Gesture Checklist has been adapted and translated into Kannada by Chirag Girish Kiran in collaboration with his supervisors; this was a complex process with lots of considerations e.g., cultural differences, differences in dialect, vocabulary choice #BASconf25

We now have a symposium with speakers discussing perspectives on gesture assessment and treatment with Anna Caute, Abi Roper, Chirag Girish Kiran, Sussex Williams, Elissa Manzi. Gesture is critical to communication and there is an unmet need for standardised assessment. #BASconf25
