Hi everyone,
I wanted to share some information with you all that I received recently from Becta. There is a government drive called 'Home Access' that helps low-income families who lack access to a computer and/or the Internet to get online at home.
For any eligible learners with SEN, the programme provides a range of Assistive Technology that can be applied for now. They could receive a tailor-made package based on a simple evaluation of their needs. They may receive items such as:
- Screen reading software
- Specialised access hardware like a head controlled mouse
- Switch access hardware
- Symbol software
Learners will also get:
- A computer
- One years Internet access
- Service, safety features and support
To get an application pack, just call 0333 200 1004
To find out more please visit www.homeaccess.org.uk
Please pass this information on to anyone you think may find it useful.
