Article: [SENco-forum] Cream Paper

Cream paper? Why only cream paper? This is yet another
BDA inaccuracy. And another one size fits all
solution.

The reason for it, I assume, is to prevent glare?

As has been said, recycled paper can do just as well. 

BUT better still is to ask each pupil which colour
paper suits him best, or whether he prefers to alter
the background of the document they're typing or alter
the font colour that they type, or the colour of the
font that worksheets are printed out in, or the font
soze or the spacing.

Visual processing problems are as individual as APD.
Each pupil needs individualised attention or they will
not be able to read it. just like overlays, if used,
need to be the pupil's individual choice.

Paying lipservice to the pupil just to satisfy the BDA
isn't enough.

Best wishes,
Aly
