Although ICT was not directly discussed, it seems clear that it is an area requiring debate. The experiences of using Bag Books, of creating original artwork and film, of being provided a performance space, of constructing spontaneous narratives based around a few simple auditory and visual cues, demonstrate that children with learning disabilities respond amazingly to some of the kinds of stimuli that ICT can offer. ICT no longer necessarily means sitting in front of a PC, and in the near future we will find that ICT is wearable, that interfaces across a variety of platforms are easily accessible, fast, and secure-in short, it will begin to augment the learning environment and provide multi-sensory experience in a number of interesting and, more importantly, useful ways for the benefit of all learners.
