The iPad offers a great range of tools that can be personalised to meet the needs of learners with hearing and visual impairment. We will look at simple set ups that can quickly managed by the teacher or learning support assistant and have a positive impact on the learner. For example, we will explore text to speech, speech to text as well as how we can make Siri fun and helpful in the classroom. The session will also highlight the tools that support visual impairment, from zooming the screen to managing font sizes and closed captioning. We will look at a range of free and apps to purchase that will help the SEN teacher and engage the learner.
