An accessible resource is one that can be used effectively and with ease by a wide range of pupils. The resource can be adapted with the minimum of work for pupils who have a range of additional support needs. Accessible resources provide children and young people with the appropriate access to all the areas of the curriculum and also provide appropriate opportunities for children and young people to demonstrate their understanding from learning to the best of their ability. Accessible resources could refer to almost anything used in class or at home to support learning; this guide has a focus on textual resources. Accessible textual resources may be required for pupils who have difficulty with standard printed materials as a result of, for example:

• difficulties in accessing the skills of literacy & numeracy;

• motor impairment;

• sensory impairment;

• dyslexia;

• English as an additional language;

• learning difficulties.
