eBoards help make communication and writing easy
With the help of a grant from the Australian Government, we funded the purchase of an eBoard Interactive Touch Screen for Bates Drive School.
The majority of students at Bates Drive who are non-verbal communicators and rely on visual communication to express their needs. The interactive touch screen is perfect for this, as the students just have to touch the visuals on the board to make choices, express preferences and give comments.
This very clever technology has also enabled one young student to write the first letter of his name for the first time. As the school Principal explained, ‘the student’s fine motor skills are not developed, meaning he can’t write with pen and paper, but at this size …. NO PROBLEM!! Just brilliant’!
