www.oxtc.co.uk is an Oxfordshire website about communication with those with a learning difficulty, with useful information, links and free resources to download.
Free resources to download here This site was recommended by Ian Attfield, our keynote speaker at the 2007 OASIS Conference. A good supplier of learning materials for education, health and social care.
A great website for special needs, with free parent and teacher materials, educational supplies, games and resources.
Lots of great toys and resources for special additional needs, such as speaking and listening, speech therapy, autistic spectrum, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, fine and gross motor skills, handwriting and much more. You may have seen the stand at the Nuts & Bolts Day in May 2009.
Special Needs Toys Thousands of special needs toys to purchase. UK manufacturers of sensory equipment and sensory rooms. www.totalsensory.co.uk or call 01702 542231. Emotion Trainer is an interactive computer program that can improve the user’s understanding of emotions and develop their social skills. To download a free trial visit go to www.emotiontrainer.co.uk or email info@emotiontrainer.co.uk. This is advertised as a valuable learning tool for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASDs), who can find it difficult to understand emotions, but the Emotion Trainer may also be useful to others, whatever their age or diagnosis, who struggle to recognise and predict emotions in other people. The Cinema Exhibitors' Association Card is a national card that can be used to verify that the holder is entitled to one free ticket for a person accompanying them to the cinema. The card is valid for 1 year from the date of issue and a small fee of £5.50 is chargeable per card. To apply for the card, you will need to be in receipt of the disability living allowance or attendance allowance or be registered blind (audio service available). Application forms are available from cinemas across the UK supporting this card. Alternatively, download the form from www.ceacard.co.uk or email info@ceacard.co.uk or telephone 0845 123 1292. Many OASIS members already use this card to obtain a free carer’s ticket at all Oxford Cinemas and now also at the new Cinema complex in Didcot at the Orchard Centre. Free tickets are available from Merlins Magic Wand for children on the Autistic Spectrum (and family members) to places such as Legoland, Chessington World of Adventure, Alton Towers, London Eye, Warwick Castle, Thorpe Park, and the Sealife Centres. Some of our members have had success at gaining these (it is on terms of disability not means) so it is worth trying http://www.merlinsmagicwand.org/how_to_apply/how_to_apply.asp.
