[senco-forum] ICT and SEN

Dear All
I am SENCO in a small primary school.  Our ICT coordinator has asked me to think about how we can better use ICT to support children with SEN - and so I am trawling for ideas!  At the moment, we use ICT very little to support SEN children directly.  We have numbershark and wordshark and acceleread / accelewrite programmes.  Problem with these is finding TA time to supervise their use, and also for class teachers to allocate regular slots for the children who might benefit.  Each class has interactive whiteboard (used to varying effect across the school) and otherwise class computers largely used for teacher admin.  We have ICT suite where ICT skills are taught and also where children in KS2 work on the ILS programme (not something I like personally).

This is really blue sky thinking.  Any suggestions for : courses which may increase my knowledge / skills on using ICT to support SEN; software which you view as invaluable; ways of working for class teachers to make better use of computers etc etc would be gratefully received.

Budget probably pretty negligible.

What do you all do?

In grateful anticipation
