ICT supporting SEN in the primary setting

I have recently been working in school with a year 1 pupil with Global Development Disorder, this child has severe speech problems and also has very limited motor skills. As an adult involved with his learning it is important to evidence his progress, as he struggles to record his work I have observed his learning being (almost soley) evidenced through the use of photography and a file composed of his achievements. From the childs point of view I have observed him learning very effectively using a computer as the mouse is within his capabilities of using so he can access alot of games and programs to help his skills develop (especially within mathematics). This is only one example of how ICT benefits pupils with SEN, if used effectively it can promote very successful learning for SEN pupils across the curriculum.
