LearnPad is particularly suited to use in Special Educational Needs due mainly to its touch sensitive screen and its unique secure student interface. Many SEN activities lend themselves well to touchscreen devices and LearnPad is ideal.

As it supports flash based software, with many great applications available free online, LearnPad easily replaces bulky PCs and engages students much more effectively. Also, teaching staff can pre-configure LearnPad with SEN specific content or applications appropriate for different students, from the online management and configuration portal and quickly deploy this content to any LearnPad. Android applications as well as standalone flash programs can be deployed to LearnPad very easily.
