60 minute Online Learning workshop.
Pupils with physical support needs benefit from using Assistive Technology in many ways. For some of us, technology makes life easier or more convenient, but for people with physical challenges, technology may offer the only way to independently access learning, information, employment, to communicate, to control the physical environment and to be independently mobile.
In this workshop, Paul will explore access technologies including switches, Eye Gaze and alternative keyboards and mice as well as the features which are available in Chromebooks, iPads and Windows laptops. We will consider access technologies for communication, learning, writing and recording, playing games and controlling appliances in the environment.
You will learn about the SETT assessment framework for identifying appropriate technologies for pupil's needs. What are the most important considerations? What learning needs to take place to make sure everyone is on board with making the implementation of the technology successful for the pupil?
This course was held on the 16th May, 2024 but you can still purchase a recording of the session.
You'll also receive all the resources that were sent out with the course.
