Inclusive Approaches with iPad
How do you use technology to enhance your approach to inclusion?
'One of the things that we've found has really had the most power and the most traction in terms of technology has been the accessibility features that are built into the iPad.
In particular, we have found that there are lots of features which are there for everybody to use that have made huge improvements in how children are supported'
David Maguire, Headteacher Coupals Primary Academy - Haverhill
How do you use technology to enhance your approach to inclusion?
'The iPad is just a tool that can provide a very individual experience for learners, and that's really critical, because what you want to be able to do is to give it to your children almost that level playing field in your lessons.'
Simon Pile Deputy Headteacher - Anson Primary School
How do you use technology to enhance your approach to inclusion?
'iPad has a range of built in accessibility features, including screen readers, or you can change the hue or the colour of the text, or you can control it with your voice. But what's really helpful is that because the device is available for everyone, if children have got kind of a low level need, they can still make use of those features. The fact you can press the dictation button and speak to your device and it writes it down; that could be really helpful for a severely dyslexic child, but actually someone who perhaps has some of those needs, it's still there available for them.'
