Child learning on an iPad
iSchoolAfrica Disability and Inclusion Programme

The iSchoolAfrica Inclusion programme includes solutions for children with disabilities such as autism, blind, low-vision, deaf, hard-of-hearing, cerebral palsy, motor functionality, dyslexia and more.

iSchoolAfrica understands:

  • Not all learners with disabilities and remedial needs get the education they deserve.

  • The prohibitive cost of most other assistance and assistive technology.
  • The power and simplicity of the iPad.
