We are constantly trying to improve our
resources to ensure that all students have the opportunity to access
computers. Adaptive equipment allows students with physical disabilities
and with intellectual disabilities to operate programs on computers. Some students
use a device called an adapted mouse which operates by pressing a switch. Intellikeys
, touchscreens and the easyball
are examples of other adaptions the students
use.
Along with a number of specified
software programs used at the school, students have access to individual
software designed by school staff.
Specialised Equipment.
Fisher
Road is pro-active in ensuring every
student has access to the latest adaptive devices to improve their
communication. Through links with other agencies, appropriate testing and
selection of alternative augmentative communication devices can be managed
and included as part of a students program.
The school has a number of special
walkers, hoists and exercise equipment.
