Ms Rosie Bissett:

One hundred percent and many of those parents who are fortunate enough to be in the situation to do that do that. What happens in some schools is they conflate the assistive technology grant which is funding to buy a device for a child with a child being allowed to use a device. Absolutely, if parents have the resources they can and do send that device into school. There is also an issue around the need for training for teachers to be clear around that point whereby if a student is dyslexic and needs to use this for access to the curriculum, he or she should be allowed to use it and that is a separate thing from the grant.
