ICT is an integral part of  learning in Lower School.  Students with AAC devices are encouraged to use these throughout the day to support their  communication and learning. Students are supported and encouraged to make choices on their communication device, e.g. making decisions to inform their learning and during an outing using a communication device to make an order at a café.

Computers and iPads are used for student activities, such as, switch it jigsaw, pop videos, choose and

Tell, story time and Education City for number rhymes and games. We also use the IWB during group

sessions to promote turn taking and attention. Some students access  Lexia on laptops or computers.

We use different types of technology, for example, torches, fans or wind machines to add impact during group sessions e.g. during a number session students press the button to switch on the fan at an appropriate time. Switch technology such as Big Mack or recordable sound button devices and other sensory technology are used during drama and sensory story sessions.
