Some of you may know about the wonderful company Inclusive Technology who sell a wide range of fab resources (switches, computer programmes, communication aids and lots more) for people with SN.
What you may not know is that they run free information days in which members of their team give demos and practical advice on their range. So much more maeningful than flicking through a catalogue.
The school staff I work with have been (as will I one day when I have the damned time!) and each time come back absolutely buzzing.
Oh, and it's FREE. Did I mention that?
Here's the link.
Information days
If you want to get there yourself google Inclusive Technology then go to 'Events & Exhibitions' then go to 'Information Days'.
I think they let parents come. If not,just tell them you are attached to a school if they ask (which you are.)
