My child with vision impairment would benefit from technology at school but it is not in place. What should I do?

Technology is often a key element in ensuring a child with a vision impairment has access to the curriculum. 

It’s important that a regular IT assessment is carried out with your child to ensure everything that will help them to learn effectively and equitably is in place. The sensory (VI) support service will carry out this assessment, looking at any needs and providiong recommendations on equipment and training. If your child has a formalised plan (such as an EHCP in England), check IT requirements are specified within the plan. These plans may also need updating as your child progresses through school, often after meetings to review the current written support plan.
