“Being a special school our students all have significant disabilities, that meant we couldn't use the resource as is. What I found really useful was to take the stories and tasks provided, and adapt them for our students. Break tasks up, simplify language, provide support with assistive technology etc. It was really helpful to have access to the stories, especially local ones, and the hints on where to look for information. We will use this lots.”
