Hannah Kay’s research project using Clicker 4 to target the expressive language skills of children with epilepsy and learning and communication needs appears on the surface to have had no effect. However, in considering the impact of epilepsy on a child’s learning opportunities and needs as well as the detail of responses, Hannah is clear that multi-media tools can be a useful way of making therapy more stimulating and exciting. Furthermore, she argues that the compensatory potential of multi-media tools to enable functional progress deserve more attention.
