Introduction
The “Inclusive Technology for All (IT4All)” is a technology-based learning initiative for students with developmental and intellectual disabilities. Students participate in weekly workshops, which challenge them to create and solve technology inspired tasks. By so doing, they develop digital and creative skills and are better prepared for the 21st century information technology-centered society.
IT4ALL is a partnership of the Children’s Developmental Centre (CDC) and the Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre (W.TEC).
Objectives:
The IT4All programme seeks to:
1. Use technology to encourage and direct the creativity of students with developmental and intellectual disabilities and improve their problem solving skills.
2. Equip teachers and caregivers with the skills and confidence to enhance their regular classroom teaching using digital tools.
Participants:
Three classes of students participate in the program at the CDC in Surulere – Lagos:
1. Pre-School: Children ages 3 – 8 years
2. School: Children ages 9 – 17 years
3. Adolescent: Adolescents 18 years and above
