Assistive technology in schools: choose around the pupil
Start with the task a pupil wants to do more independently, then match technology, teaching and support to that specific barrier.
Consider classroom displays, assistive tools and responsible use of AI. Start with the teaching or access need and evaluate what technology contributes.
Start with the task a pupil wants to do more independently, then match technology, teaching and support to that specific barrier.

The most useful display is the one pupils can see and teachers can operate confidently with the resources they already use.
Use technology only where it contributes to a clear purpose, with responsive adult interaction and the wider early years routine kept central.
