Supporting students with Special Educational Needs

# data[].attributes.body
I usually work with SEN, but without such deep disabilities, although in my school there is a multi deficiency room with specialized teachers and technicians. They use computers, tablets and other specific technologies with their students. It’s  wonderful to see so many things that are being developed to improve the life of students with special needs.
Rui shows us that, even if we have few resources, if we want, we can achieve great things. Congratulations for your job, Rui.

# data[].attributes.body
We have been using all kinds of equipment; labtops, tablets, phones, Chrombooks for supporting students with special educational needs. It helps alot. We mostly use Google solutions, Dropbox, pdf workbooks with Foxit reader or Kami for Google Drive. But sadly our language makes it a little bit difficult for us to use some things. We do not have a big market for companies for making software for us in Iceland.

I was very happy with the videos and the use of the technology for the young of low vision.
The technology using the wifi and a camera was very creative
In my school there are young people with Down Syndrome, Autistic and Cerebral Palsy, we use the tablet also to aid in education.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven't experiences in ICT support for students with disabilities. Students with special needs (dyslexia and so on) in our school use PC for reading and writing. They also listen to the recording of the book page with LIM.

# data[].attributes.body
Personally, I had no way to deal with assistive technologies for students with special educational needs. The most frequent cases, in my school, are dyslexic pupils, for which we have supplied laptops equipped with specific software.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting there are many software that can   help students with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Technology is useful especially to students with special needs or disabilities.

# data[].attributes.body
Interesting and useful. I have no experience teaching children with special needs . New technologies and tools like the ones mentioned here can be very helpful to the teaching process

# data[].attributes.body
We have very few students with SEN in my school, but we are very sensitive, careful and attentive to them. Our school provides for the necessary software and also laptops if they can't afford them. BYOD and dedicated software together with special measures and teaching and learning strategies are very helpful in my experience. I had a girl with dyslexia. For her English language was really hard but I helped her to overcome difficulties and fears using technology and teaching strategies. She had great success even in the final exam at the end of secondary education.

# data[].attributes.body
These videos are very interesting and useful. It is not easy to work with students with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many good examples of how much can be done with so little is important to share these ideas since they make the difference and are ways to give more quality of life to our students

# data[].attributes.body
Well I usually work in groups during classes and give my students tasks depending on their abilities in order to help them progress. As far as the students with disabilities are concerned, I usually create different lesson plans for them, adapted to their needs and capacity.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't teach kids with extreme special needs but I feel that a lot more can be done to help all students.
I'd like to think that interactive technology might be able to monitor those with behavioural issues.
Audio devices should be linked to scanners to read text from books to help either / or the visual or audio impaired.
Speech to text programs should help some students with exam submissions.
I do think however that the day of the interactive whiteboard is now limited and it has already been replaced by the touch screen smart tv.

# data[].attributes.body
These all are very interesting and useful. I have no experience teaching children with special needs but I believe new technologies help them effectively.

# data[].attributes.body
The diversity of the pupils in our classroom is a reality, differents ways of learn, differents styles of work, differents ideas and differents problems. The teacher must design a new lesson plan with some learning ways.
The use of technology with BYOD models let us an improve exit.

# data[].attributes.body
In our school we have SEN students and many different needs, mostly dyslectic, some with hear problems and some visibililty problems. We use different devices the most incredible one is to use special cordless mic that the teacher use and the student has an hearing aid while rest of the class has their small mic they press the button to speak so that the student with special need is involved and it works so well. Technology is incredible and so is our SEN teacher.

# data[].attributes.body
Es importante promover entre los alumnos con capacidades diferentes nuevas estrategias que favorezcan los aprendizajes entre los alumnos con dificultades. En el colegio en el que trabajo las principales necesidades que se detectan son trastornos de aprendizaje y de comportamiento.

# data[].attributes.body
I have never worked with students with special educational needs. And in my school we do not have this type of students.

But I think it's an interesting subject. I love to see that it is possible to give all students the same possibilities, regardless of their shortcomings, thanks to technology

I guess we would all have to learn more from these kinds of experiences

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, most  of children with special needs use notebook and fixed PC with colored keyboards and tablet   to ease their learning.
My experience are few but last year I had an autistic student  and he was outstanding in the use technological tools.

The suggestions are definitely very useful.

# data[].attributes.body
I work in the hearing impaired school. I have more visual imagery in my lessons. First I show the work myself, then I want them to do it by making small changes. Every week I repeat the previous lesson quickly. Because the more I do it again, the more the visual memories become permanent.

# data[].attributes.body
I have heard for assistive technology last year on one conference I attended. Our school is an inclusive school integrating  learners with SEN in regular classes. Unfortunately, our school does not have assistive technology, but there are dedicated and willing teachers to help those students to achieve best .  I consider assistive technology an excellent way to help SEN students as they are unique and their disabilities have to be addressed in different way. Great videos showing successful stories and support for SEN students!

# data[].attributes.body
In my school we have no students with special educational needs and disabilities, so I haven’t any experience about these tools.

# data[].attributes.body

# data[].attributes.body
In my school, most of children with special needs use laptop to ease their learning. Teachers prefer use laptop than tablets even if these are faster for students. I don't know why, maybe because teachers feel more comfortable using tablets.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you Rui for giving us such a good insight into the world of disabled people and show us what can be done by using technology to help them.

I learned a lot by watching them and I'm going to show them the teachers in the school.

In our school there are no students with severe disabilities, we have a few students with autistic, students with ADHD and dyslexia and similar problems.

Specialteachers use sometimes tablets and computers in their work with their students, but we have no specific tools to help them any further.

We use correction program and an interpreter to help dyslexia students and we have a behavioral psychologist part time to assist teachers to create lesson plan for their students. So I am not so experienced with SEN children.

# data[].attributes.body
The issue of inclusion is very important, and technologies can help students with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
thank you for the very useful suggestion which can be used also for other kind of problems with students with special needs. You gave us the opportunity to reflect about rea inclusion does mean

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have great experience in the field but I've found all suggestions very useful to me. Indire's site also covers a lot of informations about these topics for us but what is important to me are not only tools and technologies to make a better job but a sort of empathy with students with special needs

# data[].attributes.body
My School is not for SEN students. But I had the chance to get involved in a SEN school for a while. I appreciate the abilities of SEN pupils and IT/Computing defininately can support their learning!!! Animation, Music, Sound, videos, Special devices, screens, tools etc ARE ALL very important in SEN. UDL can be implemented for SEN.
In programming I tried Scratch and Goofle Blockly. What ever WE DO FOR SEN STUDENTS is worthwhile and we become not only better Teachers but also BETTER people!! My love to all people/students with any disability. :)
{ its our disability the lack of ability to help SEN people}.
GO ON RUI!!!! Bravo for your willing to improve and learn!

# data[].attributes.body
I really don't have much experience with SEN children. Just a few students with dyslexia or similar needs. In this case I treat to read aloud all written instructions, give them more time for exams, and complement text materials with images and videos. I think it is useful for all students, not just for them.
I love seeing technology solving real problems, and helping children to feel comfortable and integrated with their mates. Thank you very much for sharing these experiences

# data[].attributes.body
Well I have some experiences because I teach SEN children.
For example, with pupils with low vision I use to change screen configuration (bigger icons, more contrast, font size,...), activate accessibility options on the OS (caps, screen reader, sounds, mouse shadow and speed,...), and give some advices to other teachers (orientation and distance to the screen, don't let innecesary icons on the desktop,...).
I have also make another "adaptations" for other needs or dissabilities (use two mouses with TDAH students, different access to the computer using conmutators and housing with cerebral palsy children, etc.).

# data[].attributes.body
The only contact with something like SEN I have with one pupil with a visual impairment, but otherwise he is a very smart, talented and capable young. We are working with a adjusted PC screen, but in reality it is far from these videos.

I admire it, I saw on these videos: both excellent IT facilities and the work of teachers. There is material for thought.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some students with special needs in our school, but no one has disabilities like seen in SEN videos. I'm not sure if social and special pedagogues are using any special technology. I know that one special pedagogue is helping students to learn with dog this year. These children are special and we need to give them a chance to express themselves through different things. We will need to consider to use proposed ICT technology, if student with that kind of disabilitiy will be integrated in our school. ICT is definitely one powerful tool that can change teaching and learning quality.

# data[].attributes.body
I have very little experience in this field, even though I need to learn fast, because there is a hearing impaired student in one of my classes and I have had to learn to control the position of my head during classes (so that she could read my lips). I also look for subtitled videos for the whole class. I sometimes have to use AMARA to create subtitles or improve automatic ones.
I found the videos impressive.

# data[].attributes.body
I use screen readers and the magnifier glass app for the desktop

# data[].attributes.body
Our school uses the resources indicated by Indire.

# data[].attributes.body
I had been teaching at a classroom where 3 students had SEN. They used the Microsoft tool to view the PC screen and a special printer which could print your file in braille form.
The students could keep up  with the rest and one of them was an exceptional student.
As for the video, very intuitive solutions.

# data[].attributes.body
Ingenious solution when you have clear what you want to get

# data[].attributes.body
In my school there are students with special needs, we use computers for word processing and software to create concept maps (mindmaple, cmap)

# data[].attributes.body
Very useful ideas!

# data[].attributes.body
I use Zondle.
Thank you!

# data[].attributes.body
Thank so much for sharing this information, we have students with special needs and we have special teachers for them but they don't use ICT in teaching, in part because they don't know which and how web tools to use. Now I will say them the exact information

# data[].attributes.body
We have special needs schools but students with specia need don' t use technologies.

# data[].attributes.body
I created and managed for three years a multimedia lab in the primary school to help students with special needs to improve their competencies with the help of new learning technologies. It was a very useful experience which changed my way to teach in the school.

# data[].attributes.body
we have special needs schools... they are using Tablets as the tool to help students.

# data[].attributes.body
In my school i don't have a student with special needs until now that i need to create a solution to them.

# data[].attributes.body
Great ideas and ingenious too! Thanks for share! In my school we are scarce in this kind of  resources thus adapted education requires personal attention. And I recognize that these new techniques can help even more.

# data[].attributes.body
As a general trend, Italian policy promotes the use of ICT in the three domains mentioned in Eurydice publication, “Key Data on Education in Europe 2012”: disabled pupils, socially disadvantaged pupils and pupils with learning disabilities. In my opinion while it is of vital importance to move towards more inclusive education systems, teacher education and continuing professional development have not always been organised along inclusive lines.
In my school there isn't any ICT devices for students with special needs.

# data[].attributes.body
Using digital content which is available online and is written according to specifications makes life easier for teachers who have visually impaired students in their class. Instead of dealing with magnififying glasses or copy content on oversized paper sheets, students can just increase the size of the webpage in their browser.

# data[].attributes.body
It is great to see an increase in use and availability for assisstive technologies in primary schools in Ireland.

We use tablets in learning support classes.

Dyslexic students are taking part in touch typing.

Many resource children have access to laptops and software to assist their learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I have used magnifiers and special needs assistants to help with iPads and other technology in the past. I think that now IP cameras are so cheap, the idea of having a camera network in each classroom is fantastic. Voiceover on iOS devices is also wonderful as students can use headphones and work in a way that suits them and does not disturb others.

# data[].attributes.body
We have several students with special needs, mostly autistic students.
For an ICT administrador it's a new field because we have to focus on technology that gives us the oportunity to include all students.
Thanks for the sharing.

# data[].attributes.body
Increasingly improved and adaptive hardware devices  solved the problem of access to the computer for many groups of disabled, increasingly sophisticated software and "smart" are available to teachers who wish to use them to meet specific needs or difficulties of their students .
The time is right to assert that the use of computers can validly support learning by improving the effectiveness, mainly if you are referring to tools and technological aids that can radically change the quality and levels of learning.

# data[].attributes.body
In my area, till now we did not started any intervention for children for spacial need. to watch the different videos, I think ICT can be powerful tool for their learning. I am considering this for my future plan.

# data[].attributes.body
I think using technology can help students with SEN. In my school we have Interactive monitors connected to tablets by wifi. Students are more attentive to the lessons and involved in the learning activities.

# data[].attributes.body
Students with special needs or disabilities always amaze me with their performance on ICT.
In my opinion, the video was very interesting and educational.

# data[].attributes.body
I think ICT supports can be a valid help for students with disabilities or special educational needs. In my classroom we use notebooks for students with SEN, with active spell checker .
I find very interesting the video about ipad as magnifier, an economic and valid help, and the use of tablets with SEN students too.

# data[].attributes.body
It was a very good presentation Thank you.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you very much for that presentation. I have a student with visual disabilities (almost blind) and we are looking for a solution. Of course the solution provided here may not solve the problem we are facing, but it will be a nice affordable solution for students with smaller degree of visual disability. We use NVDA solution to help the student but there are some difficulties with Greek language. Of course something is better than nothing. Thank you once more for sharing great ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not specialized but many parents with SEN ( BES in Italia) often come to me and ask where to find information or tools to help their kids. I feel I care and try to be updated by searching on the web following some very good bloggers / teachers. We good do  a lot more but for the moment my collegeaus don't see ICT Tools as very helpful, time will learn....

# data[].attributes.body
Interestingly his movie - Berat Celik, Mehmet ULUCAN SEN School for autistic children, Ankara. Autistic children have problems with concentration. I never knew I could focus on a tablet computer or easier than pencil work. Thanks for the idea. I will use, I grade a child with autistic tendencies.

# data[].attributes.body
I was working with an autistic kid. He communicated only with pc. He wrote everything he wants on pc even his feelings. It is incredible the impact of technology for students with special needs or disabilities  and not only for them

# data[].attributes.body
I have work with pupil with disability ,, it will be helpful for us this equipment

# data[].attributes.body
Alternative tools are progressing fast. Until recently tho with tablets a different app was needed for each function.
Recently in Sweden we have got ClaroSpeak+ which has dictation, spellcheck, word prediction,  photoscanning/ocr and text to speech - all in one. There is a Swedish version and an English version.
Audio Note is good for combining recording, note taking and photos of a lesson etc.
Tablets are great value, incredibly powerful and versatile - and can do much of what required expensive specialized hardware earlier.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't have  experience in people with Special Educational Needs.
A few years ago the school had a student with visual difficulties and their computer had a special program that increased the vision of the screen. With this program he worked alone and like the other students.
In my school the Special Educational Needs are economic and social.

# data[].attributes.body
I have more than 10 years experience in the field of ICT for students/persons with disabilities.

# data[].attributes.body
No quiz.No test.

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I used a vocal app (dyslexia) and recently I try voice typing t that is in a Google Drive document.
For special needs I've create a simple games with Hotpotatoes orScratch and I like to play with BeeBoot. I never use a tablet at school, we haven't.
