BLENNZ Gisborne Visual Resource Centre inquiry for 2016 has been to research how our BLENNZ learners can be provided with appropriate Assistive Technology systems, which are well matched to their changing needs and abilities.
Over the year our Resource Teachers: Vision have participated in a range of Professonal Development opportunities, which have included workshops at the Visual Resource Centre, attending the BLENNZ “Expanding my Toolbox” course for RTVs and attending an Immersion Course with a learner.
This has enabled our RTVs to successfully trial and apply for appropriate AT for learners who are low vision or blind, using the SETT (Student, Environments, Tasks, and Tools) process.
As part of this process we have supported our learners’ teams to ensure these learners are able to use their AT systems competently and successfully to access the curriculum and make progress in their learning.
