Use of Assistive Technology in Coláiste Bhaile Chláir (CBC)
CBC strives to be a happy, safe, caring, and inclusive community where everyone is supported to reach their potential.
One of the resources at our disposal to help us with this is Assistive Technology. Assistive Technology is any device, piece of equipment or system that helps bypass, work around or compensate for an individual’s specific learning needs.
Assistive technology is playing an increasingly important role in the education of pupils with unique needs. Computer-based AT applications have the ability to help overcome some of the barriers created by a learning difficulty and can allow pupils to read, write and communicate more effectively. The availability of assistive technologies can help to 'level the playing field', in terms of academic achievement.
