Grid Education License
The Grid Education license makes it possible to easily manage and use Grid across your entire school or college. Grid is an AAC solution for a whole school approach, with many uses in SEN and mainstream schools.
Grid can help support language development from the earliest interaction through all levels of AAC to full control of a computer with alternative access methods.
How does it work?
The Grid 3 Education License is available for schools, colleges and universities that require multiple Grid 3 licenses on their network.
The Education license operates a token leasing system – meaning you can install Grid 3 on as many devices as you’d like, and have your chosen number of licenses running at one time.
Once you shut down Grid 3, the license is released and ready to be used again by another student. Providing you are online, your license can be used anywhere – not just limited to the school site.
You can get the Grid Education license is available on any Windows computer, tablet or AAC device. Available in the US, UK and Ireland.
Participation for every student
Grid can be personalised with our core and pragmatic grid sets, for text, words, and symbols for every student, regardless of age or ability. Grid sets are easy to adapt to the needs of each individual student, and you’ll also find that you can quickly create your own content to fit around your teaching and the learning aspirations of every young person.
All grid sets you create can work with every type of access, including: switch, touch and eye gaze. PCS symbols and Acapela children’s voices can be added to your purchase to tailor Grid 3 to your students. You can also choose to add PODD and Phonics for all licenses.
