He demonstrates a deep understanding of each learner, speaking confidently about their needs, learning styles, and what will benefit them long-term. His openness to suggestions, coupled with his proactive efforts to research and understand assistive equipment and software, is genuinely inspiring. His dedication reflects a strong commitment to the students’ best interests.” You can find out more about Oliver here: https://bit.ly/TAoftheMonth

    It was great to be invited to the Lambeth Transition Event last Thursday. We had an interesting and productive day with representatives from all the secondary and primary schools who were there to share information and notes on children transitioning from Yr 6 to Yr 7. It was an excellent way to introduce ourselves to some new schools as well as to find out and share some key information about our service.

    Yesterday we were delighted to be at Middle Park Primary School in South East London, following the official launch of the Department for Education (DfE) new pilot scheme of “lending libraries” for assistive technology to support children and young people with special educational needs (SEND).

    The Department for Education has partnered with CENMAC to advise on the scheme which will help schools in The Change Programme, 32 local authorities and around 4,000 schools, to borrow and trial a range of devices to suit the individual needs of their children and young people experiencing barriers to their learning. Find out more in the latest blog: https://bit.ly/DfE_ATlendinglibrarypilot
