SAM Group Referrals

The SAM Team are an integral part of the NL Digital School, offering bespoke training and support for schools, families and young people. They are focused on the use of assistive media in education but their extensive knowledge of digital pedagogy means they are a key resource for all learners across the authority.

The SAM Team links with schools, in conjunction with the Digital School, to develop staff skills and provide information on current assistive technology practices.
