A groundbreaking computing project to help profoundly disabled children communicate more effectively, developed by researchers at the Universities of Dundee and Aberdeen, has been nominated for a major industry award.
The 'How was School today...?' software uses a combination of technologies to enable children with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and learning difficulties to have conversations in a faster, more interactive way.
In the latest in a series of accolades for the project, it has been nominated in the 'Community Project of the Year' category of the BCS UK IT Industry Awards 2010. The Awards are a platform for the entire computing and IT industry to celebrate best practice, innovation and excellence across a number of fields.
