I want to create a Educational Special Needs website for my College.
Before I start, are there any existing websites of a similar nature that I can have a look at/get some ideas from??
Thx
Hi Sean - I'm conscious you haven't had a reply and I aplogise for that
I don't know an existing Special Needs Moodle site (I presume you mean Moodle?) but there is an area dedicated to teaching and learning here http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=5&topic=4 and maybe if you took a look in there and posted there you might get a better response?

Sean,
I just this morning had time to do some searching... here are a few things I have found. Will add more if I find any. These are all connected to Moodle. (I wasn't sure if you were really looking for a Moodle course or a website or both.)
These I couldn't get into the classes, but if you get in touch with them, they might give you some info or some screen shots etc. if you think they might be helpful.

These are articles posted on the web which may or may not be helpful:

http://news.kmi.open.ac.uk/11/1151 article on a book with case studies that suggests "EASY interface in Moodle for special needs students... Don't know if that will help you or not..
