A bespoke package of support for Special Schools and Specialist Provisions

Posted by Kirsteen Steven on the 27th May, 2024

Category Communication Support Needs Assistive Technology

Is Communication or Assistive Technology a PEF or SIP priority next session for your special school or specialist provision?

If the answer is yes, then we can help you!  With our wealth of knowledge and expertise we have created a new package of support whereby we can support you to complete a baseline audit in terms of hardware/software and staff knowledge and confidence.  We will then attend to carry out an in-person observation visit which will inform our Action Plan and our planning for either an online or in-person training session(s).
