Case Study: Beit Issie Shapiro School boosts literacy and participation with Smartbox Grid

Beit Issie Shapiro School boosts literacy and participation over 5 years with Smartbox Grid

Beit Issie Shapiro School, a special education school in Israel for students with complex disabilities, needed a way to create an accessible and engaging curriculum that would support literacy and active participation for its pupils, many of whom are high-tech AAC users. The school partnered with Smartbox, using its Grid software, to develop a unique educational approach to meet this challenge.

Smartbox's Grid software provided the platform for the school's IssieEd initiative, which uses customized lesson templates featuring symbol support, speech generation, and interactive activities. This solution from Smartbox allowed teachers to easily adapt materials for individual needs, leading to a significant improvement in student literacy, participation, and confidence in both school and home life.
