PROJECT 5 - Voice Output Communication Aids
Some students who have dysarthric speech or struggle to use any verbal communication can use an electronic device to generate a synthetic voices. Words can be generated using symbols or written text. These are expensive devices. If we can we will assist with funding. This is our main project for 2025.
PROJECT 6 - Eyegaze
For non-verbal students with severe physical disabilities there are specialist devices controlled by the student's eyes. These are the most expensive devices but some funding may be available. We can advise on the process to apply for one of these through specialist services.
PROJECTS
PROJECT 1 - Software
If your child/student needs support due to Dyslexia, a hearing impairment, a visual impairment, a physical disability or a speech difficulty there are many Windows based software programs that we can recommend. When funds allow we can also support the purchase of programs.
PROJECT 2 - Classroom Environment
Many young people can benefit immensely through simple changes in the classroom, lighting and even where the student sits can be of paramount importance. Simple furniture changes can transform the educational experience.
PROJECT 3 - Communication Boards
Many students struggle with communication. We can create bespoke communication boards and books according to the needs of each individual. We can support families to become confident modelling these forms of communication.
PROJECT 4 - iPad Apps
Many students can benefit from a range of iPad apps. We can advise on the suitability of these and when funds allow, support the purchase of relevant applications.
