Case Study: Oaktree School boosts confidence and writing skills with Crick Software

Oaktree School helps 98 students with special needs build confidence in writing with Crick Software

Oaktree School, a special needs school in London, faced significant challenges with students who struggled with reading and writing due to moderate to severe learning difficulties and poor fine motor skills. These hurdles made it difficult for students to express their knowledge and ideas. To address this, the school turned to vendor Crick Software and implemented its product, Clicker.

The solution from Crick Software involved using Clicker's features like Clicker Boards, Sentence Sets, and realistic speech feedback. This made writing more accessible and fun, leading to a major boost in student confidence and engagement. One measurable impact was on a previously reluctant writer who, with the help of Clicker, progressed from writing nothing to constructing full sentences. The school reported that students were now generating whole sentences instead of single words, demonstrating the tangible success of the implementation.
