Digital Tools for Students with Special Needs

This course is an eligible training activity under Erasmus+ Key Action 1 (School Education Mobility) — the course fee, travel and subsistence fall within the eligible cost categories. Whether it is covered depends on your own project's approved grant agreement and your National Agency's rules; we provide all the invoices, attendance records and certificates your National Agency requires for reporting.

B1 is enough — you do not need to be fluent. Trainers speak slowly and plainly, every session is built around doing something rather than sitting and listening, and groups are mixed by nationality so people help each other out. A rough test: if you could follow a staff meeting held in English and ask a question in it, you will be fine here.

Absolutely — group bookings of 3+ from one school receive priority placement, and we can schedule a dedicated session for groups of 12 or more.

Our courses run on request at our centres in Antalya, İstanbul, İzmir, Mersin, Budapest, Bremen and Rome. Tell us your preferred city and dates and we will arrange a session.

Tuition, all course materials, both certificates (attendance + Europass Mobility) and a half-day guided tour of the host city with a local guide. Flights, accommodation and travel insurance are booked separately — we send a vetted hotel list.

You can move to any later session free of charge. Cancellations made 30+ days before the start date receive a full refund; a reduced refund applies closer to the date — see our full Cancellation & Refund Policy for the exact schedule.

The tools in this course are digital, but its Erasmus+ justification is inclusion: the technology is there to remove an access barrier, not to modernise a lesson. The Programme Guide describes disability as covering “physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which, in interaction with various barriers, may hinder someone’s full and effective participation in society on the same footing as others” (Erasmus+ Programme Guide 2026, Part A – Priorities of the Erasmus+ Programme, p. 7). Each Universal Design for Learning principle is paired here with the application that removes one of those barriers — text-to-speech for a student who cannot read grade-level print, an AAC system for a student with no verbal speech, a visual schedule for a student whom a change of routine unseats — so a participant returns able to match a tool to a named need rather than to adopt technology for its own sake. Frame it in your own project's terms — your National Agency's current call will confirm exactly how it applies.

Some of the named tools (e.g. Proloquo2Go) are paid, licensed apps in real classroom use — the course teaches you to evaluate, set up and customise them, but doesn't include a school licence. Several (Immersive Reader, Choiceworks, Read&Write) have free tiers or trial access suitable for practising during the week.
