Thank you for sharing your response.
There are many technology resources that can be used to support students with special needs – using the SETT model will help to identify which AT will suit each individual child’s needs.
Hi Claire,
Thank you for your response.
Great to hear that you found the course beneficial and you have a number of new tools and apps to bring back to the classroom in September.

Hi Anna,
Thank you for your response.
The SETT model, a valuable framework for assistive technology implementation, holds great potential for Irish education.
It is very helpful when teachers can find Assistive technology overwhelming.

Hi Aisling,
Thank you for your response.
The SETT model support teachers in deciding the most appropriate assistive technology supports for students. A SETT plan can be developed in conjunction with a student’s Individual Educational Plan, as the student’s needs become more apparent.
You have created a suitable framework for a pupil, and using Microsoft Lens and Immersive reader will take the stress out of reading for your pupil.

The dictate option on Word, also reduces the burden experienced by students for who spelling and handwriting is an issue. Students will find it easier to express their thoughts verbally than in writing

Lens is another resource which allows pupils more access to material by capturing the content from a variety of sources and allowing the pupil to use this material in a variety of ways to boost their work and access more information.
Hi Lisa,
Welcme to the course, I hope you are finding it to your liking.
It sounds like you are very familiar with assistive technology and have a positive experience with it. It is giving chidren a positive environment to thrive by creating access to information, education and other opportunities that might otherwise be out of reach.
Hi Ellen,
I hope you are finding the course hughly benefically.
Assistive technology can play a pivotal role in ensuring the children with additional needs can thrive by creating access to information and education that otherwise might be out of reach.
Online learning has helped both and pupils and I feel has improved their day to day learning experiences in their classrooms, just lie you mentioned.
Hi Miriam,
Welcome to the course. I hope you learn lots of new things for your Senior Infant class.
Sound is a mechanical wave, which means that it needs substance to travel through, such as air or water. In space, there is no air, so sound has nothing to travel through. If someone were to scream in space, the sound wouldn’t even leave their mouths. I love this fact too.
I think you have come up with a lovely experiment which I’m sure your class will enjoy taking part.
