Student Equipment
To get the best results, your child should use an external mouse, not the touch pad on a laptop, and have headphones which fully cover their ears.
IF USING LAPTOPS DO NOT USE THE TOUCHPAD, USE AN EXTERNAL MOUSE.
HEADPHONES
Why are these important? Clarity in auditory processing is essential. Students need to wear headphones when doing the programme. High quality Stereo Headphones with a padded headband and ear cups should cover the student’s ear fully. NB Do not use noise cancelling headphones OR wireless headphones. You should connect the headphones directly to the computer. Also, do not connect the headphones to the monitor; the sound may be degraded.
