Access Through Technology (ATT)
The ATT referral process
Access Through Technology (ATT) works as part of a multi-disciplinary virtual "team around the child", providing the SEND and or ICT specialist teaching perspective in relation to the identification of the appropriate communication technology to meet an individual pupil's needs and working closely with the school to ensure that the ICT solution agreed will be compatible with the child's educational environment and will contribute to pupil progress. The referral procedure follows these steps:
- The referral, together with the supporting evidence, should be emailed to [email protected]
- The school will be notified when the referral has been received.
- A member of the ATT Team will contact school to make arrangements for the assessment.
- A report of the assessment will be completed and sent to the school and the funding panel. The school will share a copy of the report with parents and or carers.
- Once provision is agreed, ATT will deliver and train relevant school staff in its use.
- The effectiveness of the provision will be monitored by ATT through School Self-Reviews and (if required) school visits.
- The school must undertake to complete these reviews in a timely fashion.
Referrals cannot be accepted unless the form is completed in full and accompanied by supporting evidence.
