[senit] requirements for ICT technicians in special schools

Hi, we are being asked by LEA to list what skills

I have thought about another couple of things ICT
technicians in special ed might get involved with
-sensory room equipment
-soundbeams

these- (& see email below) are mainly for SLD but what
about
ICT technicians in other types of special school, do
they get involved in eg induction loops, radio mics,
electronic magnifiers,environemntal control or other
types of specialist ICT equipment/software?
