SENSwitcher
What is it?
SENSwitcher is a programme created in 2002 by Ian Bean for the Northern Grid for Learning that contains fifteen activities specially designed for people with high support needs. The activities are aimed at supporting learning, sensory stimulation and training basic skills such as cause-effect, attention or motor coordination. The activities can also be used to learn how to use technology in digital literacy programmes. It is compatible with assistive computer access technology, such as switches and other devices.
