| This desktop publishing package “takes the secrecy out of a specialist field”, said the judges, in allowing teachers to compile individual visual timetables for pupils and produce signs, school documents and parents’ newsletters. “It’s a powerful tool for the dissemination of good practice, remarkable for the sense of unending possibility that it generates and the range of people who can benefit, including children of all ages and abilities and parents of all languages. Widgit symbols are well embedded in special school practice; this package refines the approach and promotes inclusive practice. It’s telling teachers that they can use this tool with any pupil”. The package can also be used across the curriculum to study the use of symbols. | |
