New technology helps visually impaired
The T3 talking tactile technology is a multi-sensory device developed by the Royal National College for the Blind (RNC), UK and Touch Graphics of New York. Lesley Wells, T3 project manager claims that, ‘any subject taught at any level from foundation to A-levels, in schools and Further Education colleges can be converted by this program and it may also have benefits for other special needs groups,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in particular those who may have problems with the written word eg students with dyslexia’.How it works A laptop-sized, touch-sensitive device is connected to a standard computer that coordinates audio and haptic sensations. The program CD is inserted (these relate to the national curriculum and are supplied by RNC or developed by the teacher themselves). When various symbols,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], icons, and regions of the tactile surface are pressed, audio information on what the user is feeling comes from a connected computer. Allows the visually impaired learner to access maps, charts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], diagrams and text. Facilitates and encourages independent learning – program content/information easily accessible by the vision-impaired without sighted assistance. Works with minimum spec PCs and laptops.

The Court of Appeal pointed out that R and F's submission in the county court was of overt, conscious racism, and it was not prepared to find that there had been unconscious discrimination.The decisionThe Court of Appeal said that, unlike the ordinary civil claim where the judge decides, on the claimant's evidence only, whether the claimant has made out a case, in this case the judge had had the benefit of the whole of the evidence. Despite the school's failure to comply with the statutory requirements, the judge had been entitled to find on the basis of all the evidence that R and F had not proved racial discrimination.
