SEN

__ICT + SEN __ There is a wide range of resoruces that can be used in aid to teaching children with Special Ecucational Needs. However during my module of SEN at university I have used Widgit in helping to create a resoruce for a child on the Autistic Spectrum.

Widgit is designed to enable individuals of all ages with communication challenges, learning difficulties and EAL to gain access to written information and communicate more independently. Widgit Symbols were originally developed to support students in the classroom who have special requirements for learning and communicating. The positive impact of using these symbols to raise attainment, increase student engagement and improve behaviour has resulted in the adoption of symbols in mainstream education across the United Kingdom and through Widgit partners worldwide. The ever increasing need to make written information accessible for all has led to the use of Widgit Symbols beyond the classroom. We now see symbols being used in places such as museums, community parks, hospitals, care homes, and government agencies, creating an all inclusive environment.
