CALL Scotland webinars are convenient live presentations delivered to your computer or tablet over the web. They start at 4pm and last for 20 minutes. You can watch it live or choose to watch the archived one at a time most convenient to you.


New Wheel of Apps for learners with Complex Needs

The Wheel of Apps is not comprehensive, but attempts to identify relevant, useful apps and to categorise them into the areas where we feel an iPad can be a useful tool for learning and teaching. Look at the outer ring for the broad category in red, which in some cases is sub-divided in the next ring. This will help you to select the most appropriate apps.

Would you like to own a Symbols for All lanyard with positive behaviour support symbols? Our very stylish lanyards featuring the CALL Scotland and Symbols for All logo are now available to buy in the CALL Scotland shop.
