The Big Tree Blog
Now online
The Big Tree blog site is launched. We will be posting info here about the work that we have been developing and software we have made or found that can useful for working with people with learning difficulties. Nick Weldin will be writing about things that are helpful for people with more profound learning difficulties.
You can find out about the latest open source software we have been using with people with learning disabilities to surf the web and guidance for extending your browser by installing various plug-in’s like ‘Cooliris’ that allow you to explore sites like ‘YouTube’ or ‘Google Images’ as a visual interface. This has massive potential for people with learning disabilities to able to access these kinds of sites more easily. Nick will be discussing this work and many other things that we are currently working on here at The Rix Centre.
We hope that this site will be come a resource for people who want to get more involved and to adopt some of the techniques being demonstrated on the blog. The idea is that we can share this information and create a community around the use of this way of working with people who have a learning disability.
