Unlocking Potential: How Ict Can Support Children with Special Needs

By Sally McKeown

Book Overview

All teachers will need to develop ICT skills to support children with special needs in mainstream schools. This book provides a range of information for the non-specialist teacher:
how to access SEN information on the internet
generating and storing EPS electronically
equipment and software for children with particular problems, e.g. visual or hearing impairment, dyslexia or autism
using software to improve language development and self-esteem
solving access problems
helping children with behaviour problems through ICT
Many teachers still find it difficult to make effective use of ICT, but the benefits of computer technology for children with communication problems and other special needs are clear. By reviewing both hardware and software applications, this book acts as a valuable reference for teachers, special needs assistants and carers.
