A very busy SpecialneedsIT show!

SpecialneedsIT at the NASEN and TES special needs exhibition

With SpecialneedsIT and the How-IT-Works seminars, plus all the extra benefits of the NASEN and TES Special Needs Exhibition, Nasen Seminars, the Book Awards and the prestigious Business Design Centre, this was always set to be an exciting event. And there were many new resources and lots of opportunities for teachers to develop their skills and get involved in professional development opportunities.

When email is the mail…

For Gladys, discovering email made it possible for her to communicate with her family who have moved to Australia. Her deteriorating eyesight made it very difficult for her to hand write successfully, so when Gladys saw the possibilities emails offered, there was no stopping her!

the Special Needs Fringe 2003

Technology proves its worth at the Special Needs Fringe

"Anyone who doubts the value of ICT should have been at the Special Needs Fringe...

…Technology can change a pupil's world from a bleak barren landscape and prove with stunning clarity that IT expenditure is truly worthwhile. Anyone who has seen a hitherto silent, frustrated individual use a communication aid to tell a joke or gossip with others knows that technology makes a difference."

Sally McKeown of the TES, Special Children Magazine and BECTa gives her views on the Special Needs Fringe.
