Today, Wednesday 25 May 2023, at 1pm, the House of Lords is due to debate a question from Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat) around the Government’s assessment of the use of Assistive Technology (AT) to support people with special educational needs and / or disability (SEND).
In response, the Government has published an article – Assistive Technology in education and employment – looking at how AT can help improve or maintain the daily quality of life for people with SEND. It also considers how the Government is supporting progress in this area – including through funding the AT Test and Learn Programme, which is currently being delivered by nasen and Microlink PC to teach 150 mainstream school staff on the effective use of AT for all learners, including children and young people with SEND.
