Access Through Technology (ATT)

ATT works as part of a multi-disciplinary virtual "team around the child", providing the SEND/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.

1. The referral, together with the supporting evidence, should be emailed to att@norfolk.gov.uk
2. The school will be notified when the referral has been received.
3. If the referral is accepted, a member of the ATT Team will contact school to make arrangements for the assessment. This should be within one term.
4. The assessment will identify the appropriate technology and targets for the provision. A report of the assessment will be sent to the ATT funding panel for agreement.
5. Once agreed, school will be sent a copy of the report and asked to share and discuss the report with parents/carers.
6. ATT will organise delivery and set-up of the equipment and train relevant school staff in its use. The time from assessment to delivery of equipment should be no longer than 6 weeks.
7. The effectiveness of the provision will be monitored by ATT through School Self-Reviews and (if required) school visits.
8. The school must agree to complete these reviews in a timely fashion.
