Assistive Technology

I watched a couple of videos about assistive technology. Also I was happy to read that through Assistive Technology there is more learning opportunities for students with SEN.

SEN teachers are relying on tablets as an assistive technology tool for students with SEN. The students have Apps designed for their capabilities.  There are many new assistive technologies out there and I am please to say that it is growing within schools.



PROLOQUO2GO is a symbol supported communication app that gives a voice to people who can not speak. This is one App that is growing within SEN schools.

                                
 
  • The App speaks by tapping buttons or phrases that appear.
  • The App is free and has many different accents.
  • There are symbols and pictures with words underneath.
  • When you tap the image the App will speak the word.
 
I believe this App and many more Apps like these are perfect for children with SEN or children with  talking difficulties.
