Making Learning Accessible

When it comes to learning, we're all different. What unlocks learning for one person can close it up tight for another. That's why we believe that digital tools should be used creatively to make sure that learning experiences come in a size that fits each learner perfectly.

Read&Write

Exploring digital tools that make learning possible opens doors and lets all learners show what they know. And the really great news is, when we focus on the individual, we help the majority too. All pupils and staff in Midlothian have the amazing accessibility toolbar, Read&Write built into their device, funded courtesy of the Equipped for Learning project. Find out more about this award-winning work in this short video.
