There is a wide range of technologies designed to support learners with physical access needs, this workshop will:

• demonstrate a spectrum of physical access technologies:
  • alternative keyboards and mice
  • touch devices
  • voice control
  • access switches
  • eyegaze technology
• highlight how good assessment can change outcomes

For larger numbers, the training can be delivered in-house for a single organisation. This has the advantage of allowing more time for questions and tailoring the content, so it is specific to your setting. To request delivery of this training online or face to face at your organisation please email techability@natspec.org.uk.

Note: If delivered on-site for a single organisation, this will run as a full day (09:30-15:00). Delegates will have opportunities to trial some of the hardware and software solutions
