Computing Facilities
All classrooms at Suneden have internet-ready computers available for
student use. The children have access to a wide variety
of online programmes and educational resources, some of which have been specifically
written for children with special needs. Some of the
computers have been adapted to make them easier for our
students to use by having additional touch screens, switch
adapted mice or large keyboards.
Various technologies such as voice-to-text or text-to-voice
technology is being incorporated into the curriculum
where possible.

Sensory Room
In 1998 Suneden was the successful recipient of a commonwealth
grant, part of which was used to build a Sensory Room. This
is a room that offers great versatility. It can be tailored
to be visually stimulating for our more dependent students,
or for our very active students the mood can be changed
to offer a calming and relaxing experience. Programmes to
help the children achieve calm alertness are designed and
overseen by our on-staff Occupational Therapist. The sensory
room also provides an excellent teaching resource, with
different projection wheels promoting colour, number or
literacy awareness.
