Join us for an extensive look at the built in accessibility features of the iPad, useful SEND Apps and how they can be used in the classroom.
The iPad has many built in accessibility features and we aim to explore these and look at how they could be used in the classroom to assist all learners.
Anyone interested in learning more about the accessibility features within the iPad.
The event is perfect for Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators (SENCO).
