This session will provide examples of how schools have implemented Grid as a whole school tool, supporting AAC and learning as well as developing staff skills and knowledge.
From choosing the right devices and version of Grid, to finding ready-made grids for the classroom that can be used again and again, this session aims to provide delegates with lots of ideas to take back to their setting and consider.
More and more we see schools using Grid as a whole school tool and in this session we will share some of the best practice from the schools we have been working with.

Students with complex access needs are often channelled into learning that focuses on supporting independence, social and life skills in the community but have educators missed an opportunity to offer this kind of learning within a more academic framework? Is a focus away from academic skills potentially making it more difficult for students with complex access needs to gain relevant independence, social and life skills by taking away the context in which non-disabled students naturally develop these skills. This session will examine the experiences of some students with complex access needs who have continued to follow an academic curriculum and their consequent engagement in the key skills of independence, social skills and life skills.
