- Ross, a 21 year-old student at Treloars College, has been looking at communication aids to assist his intelligibility for 3 years. He just couldn’t accept the kind of device that drew further attention to his disability but this meant that he had difficulty communicating with people who don’t know him, particularly when using the phone. With the arrival of the new Proloquo2Go communication app for the i-phone his search has ended. Ross trialled the app on the i-pod touch initially, and loved it from the outset. He found it easy to use and easy to program and quickly overtook his speech and language therapist in his knowledge of the device! His motivation to use AAC soared and an i-phone with the software was purchased for him. He has demonstrated the device to other students and uses it successfully to make phone calls using a page that he programmed himself. Treloars Speech and Language therapy department now has an assessment device for students to trial and has already supplied 2 students with i-phones. Not only have they proved effective and motivating as communication aids they also have lots of other useful apps to support students such as voice reminders for appointments and GPS. Using it in a way that others aren’t So many uses within an education environment – art apps - masterpieces Communication difficulties - using Proloquo to go – using as their main communication instead of a specified device Its just not cool – barrier to communication cutting edge cool - it is a brilliant symbols based resource, comparing with a symbols based AAc change to your own symbols – communication and making phone calls Value for money for learners – funding is being cut left right and centre Get this all in Use with Dragon Dictate – Audio books – far outweighs a kindle or e Reader – only do what they do Level English – If any of us were coming down

- This study looked at how the use of Smartphones could enhance the acquisition of literacy and numeracy skills within bus driver training. It was intended to utilise both free applications which could be downloaded from either the Android market or apple's apps store and then utilise those to engage the students and e-books which were to be created by out ILT team at West Nottinghamshire College. These e-books would be made available via a dedicated web space and the information about them distributed via an RSS feed. There were 10 learners and one Union Learning Rep (ULR) involved in this case study at a learning centre in York. The candidates were all working towards a skills for life literacy or numeracy qualification either at L1 or L2. This case study details the use of the iPhone in recognising different facial expressions and the emotions they imply. The learner was a young man with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (autistic spectrum) and learning difficulties. He finds it difficult to recognise facial expressions and respond appropriately. This case study details the use of the iPhone in recognising different facial expressions and the emotions they imply. The learner was a young man with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties (autistic spectrum) and learning difficulties. He finds it difficult to recognise facial expressions and respond appropriately. His difficulties with social skills have led Andrew into difficult situations and conflicts with friends, family and public The aim of the project was to support employability skills, communication and numeracy skills, work based learners, and foster engagement to learning through the use of mobile devices. Teacher’s and learners reported that the mobile technology did support work-based learning, basic skills and ultimately employability. The project increased the learner voice and engagement, which resulted in some changes in teaching methods.
