Setting-owned Technology

Our partnership settings identified a requirement to have their own assessment and loan bank. This allowed the AAC team to work alongside the local speech and language therapist and explore alternative AAC options with individual learners. This raised a need to consider who owns the equipment and funding provision for learners who require their own AAC. Effective provision of AAC goes beyond the school day. It is important that you promote the use of AAC at home and beyond, this is explored in the Funding Options section later on in this document.
