Accessibility is for everybody. If we create a solution for one student, it will extend to a whole classroom. That's what personalisation of technology provides, a chance to create solutions for individual students that will also be applicable to others, and to you as well.
On this page we provide links to the technology accessibility resources mentioned in our webinar, as well as providing a copy of the slides. A recording of the webinar will be available on this page shortly.
