Communication, Access Literacy and Learning
CALL Scotland (formerly the CALL Centre) provides services and carries out research and development projects across Scotland for people with severe communication disabilities, their families and people who work with them in augmentative communication techniques and technology, and specialised computer use.
• Assessment & Support Service – CALL offers a free assessment and support service for a very small number of children with complex communication, physical, sensory and learning needs who might benefit from microtechnology. Children are referred to CALL through education authority channels.
• Consultancy & Service Level Agreements – If more than a single visit (+ report) is required, local authorities may wish to negotiate assessment, support and training packages, tailored to their needs. Contact CALL to discuss terms.
• Information Services – CALL provides information and advice in response to general enquiries on communication technology for people with disabilities. CALL has a reference library of books, journals, videos and software which can be consulted by arrangement.
• Loan Bank – CALL offers loans of specialist equipment for communication and learning, to allow for extended assessment and evaluation of a device or system before purchase.
• Training & Staff Development – CALL offers a range of training and staff development opportunities relevant to people working with children and adults. Contact CALL for a list of forthcoming events or to arrange training to meet your own particular requirements.
CALL Scotland is funded primarily by the Scottish Government Schools Directorate.
