Case Study: The Bridge School achieves improved concentration and major learning breakthroughs with SMART Technologies' SMART Board interactive whiteboards

Students with learning disabilities succeed using interactive whiteboards

The Bridge School in London supports 5–19-year-olds with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD), autism spectrum disorders and severe learning disabilities. Staff needed an interactive whiteboard that every student could use — even those who cannot hold a pen — to boost engagement and address widespread concentration difficulties.

They chose SMART Board interactive whiteboards for their finger-touch accessibility and durability, and teachers used multimedia activities to teach cause-and-effect, motor skills and focused attention (for example, music-triggered PowerPoint tasks). As a result, students are more attentive, more included in lessons and are making significant learning breakthroughs, with measurable gains in concentration and participation.
