IT Mouse Skills is a trusted tool for developing computer access through engaging, structured tasks tailored to the needs of SEN learners.

Teachers have seen transformational results with learners who previously struggled to engage with ICT. One SEN teacher described how even a highly distracted, reluctant pupil became independently motivated through the program’s simplicity, sounds and rewards:

"We are a special school and the younger pupils have great difficulty with the use of the mouse. Since using Mouse Skills they are transformed and now the ICT world is open to them. They are stimulated with the simplicity, sounds and especially the anticipation of the rewards. We also have a 9 year old who had no inclination to sit at the computer. He could be aggressive and highly distracted, but since being drawn into the program, after hearing it, he actually sat whilst I completed it and he anticipated the rewards. I use a small mouse with a penny velcroed to it and gradually introdued his hand. Within a short time he was actually insisting on going on Mouse Skills and then worked at it independently. He is now using other Inclusive software appropriately. Many thanks again and thank you for such brilliant software!!"
