Meeting Needs and Building Inclusion Through Assistive Technology

This CPD session, delivered in partnership with Concero, is designed to help educators understand how to use assistive technology to support inclusive teaching and improve learner independence. Participants will explore practical tools and strategies to meet a range of needs - such as literacy, attention, processing, and sensory challenges - and learn how to teach students to use technology confidently. The session will also include opportunities for discussion and sharing of approaches between practitioners. By embedding assistive tech into everyday practice, we can create more inclusive environments and equip learners with effective life skills.
