From behaviour management to behaviour support- a focus on inclusive cultures for children with social workers Video magnifier systems which provide a magnified image when connected to a television or PC screen These computer keyboards with Braille keys and are different in design to the traditional QWERTY keyboard keys. Use a Talking Tin to record the onset and another to record the rhyme. Generate other initial sounds to record on Talking Tins but keep the one rhyme. Blend them together and declare "they rhyme".

Good practice indicates that Braille should always be written on Braille paper which ensures that the Braille produced will be far more durable. Later move on to teaching double word meanings where one meaning is more abstract or physiological. For example, cold/cold or patient/patient.

Studies have suggested that smaller print sizes may be read at faster reading speeds when using video magnifiers compared with traditional magnifiers, but that users may be slower at initially finding the text they are looking for. There is a large choice of equipment and an increasing amount of technology available to help with communication if you are blind or have low vision. This ranges from handheld magnifiers to machines which automatically convert written text to speech, and apps for telephones or tablet devices. Most push-button telephone keypads have a raised dot on the central five key to help orientate a user relying on touch. Some of the phones in this group have a number of 'one-touch' memory buttons that dial stored telephone numbers.

Talking Tins have magnetic caps that will sit on any steel food can (please note: food cans not included). The magnet will also secure the cap to a metal adaptor (included), which has a self-adhesive pad to fix it to any object. Or secure it to a variety of objects using the elastic VELCRO® brand strap.Keep logs of words learnt to aid review and only delete when sure the word is fully integrated into the child's knowledge and use.

Play rhyme detection games. Start with two picture pairs to be matched such as king/wing and dog/log. These magnifiers are designed to be either wall-mounted, attached to furniture by clamp, or free standing on a table-top or floor. They facilitate hands-free use. Brailler displays are tactile devices that are usually placed in front of your computer keyboard providingyou with the means to read the contents of your computer screen by touch in Braille.

Give sentences where the child has to point to the correct picture/meaning of the word as used in the sentence. Portable video magnifiers are larger than handheld magnifiers but are still transportable. The screen and camera may be combined or as separate units connected by a cable. If you have not learnt to touch type then finding your way around a computer keyboard may be difficult if you have low vision. There are keyboards and accessories which may help you to navigate around the keyboard.
