There has never been a better time to focus on inclusion and technology in schools and colleges. With a better understanding of creating accessible curriculums and classrooms for all our learners, from primary through secondary and post-16, we know assistive technology (AT) is more than a nice to have - it is life changing. And it doesn’t need to cost a penny; accessibility tools built into common platforms and apps.
Empowering teachers with AT training transforms education from 'one-size-fits-all' to 'everyone succeeds', building confidence and independence at all ages and stages.
With a renewed Ofsted focus on inclusion and inclusive practice, AT can make learning accessible to children who have a range of additional needs (e.g. neurodivergent conditions that are sometimes hard to spot across the academic ability range, children and families with English as an additional language; low literacy levels).
Microlink designed and delivered two DfE-funded programmes to explore the use of AT in mainstream classrooms. This webinar will describe the impact, and opportunities for your school or college to join the learning journey.
