behind the scenes at a supermarket, a shop, a

know of anywhere suitable, please let us knowÖ!)

I.T. skills:
Freedom to practice
touch-typing and computer skills.(Many of these
children have difficulty with writing and computers
are the greatest medium.) Many of the games we

as educational. Computers are the future and this
provides a valuable introduction or practice session
for these children.
