Pupils at the Aspace School of Special Education will benefit from the IWBs from the beginning of the next school year 2015-2016.
A total of 88 pupils at the Aspace School of Special Education will benefit from the renewal of their school’s collaboration with the Ramon Molinas Foundation. After the success of the scheme back in 2014, the RMF will provide six interactive digital whiteboards (IWBs) which will improve the learning process for children with cerebral palsy by creating sensory stimulation spaces in the centre’s classrooms.
The learning process for children with cerebral palsy is complex due to the multiple special educational needs caused by the condition. The majority of researchers agree that modern technology provides new educational strategies, which allows for more effective teaching. Using the IWB as a didactic resource in the education of children with cerebral palsy and other development disorders improves attention levels, motivation and learning through discovery, fostering an environment of active learning in which the children can take part through interacting with their classmates and participating in the creation of class material.
The Aspace School of Special Education works to look after the wellbeing of pupils and their development in all aspects of life, respecting the diversity and the developmental rhythms of each individual and their cognitive capabilities. Their work aims to foster personal autonomy, improve accessibility and encourage social integration of people with cerebral palsy, utilising the benefits of assistive technology.
