Tikas - ICT Training Model for Student Groups with Special Needs

Tikas is an innovative ICT training model designed for student groups with special needs. Tikas aims to assist educational establishments, associations and other organisations in providing ICT tuition for learners with special needs of all different ages. Tikas will benefit, among others, people with intellectual disabilities, the autistic, those studying according to an individual syllabus and people with reading and learning difficulties. Tikas is also ideal for elderly people, immigrants and people with multilingual backgrounds who have insufficient knowledge of the official languages of their country of residence.

Tikas gives comprehensive support to students who are learning basic ICT skills. Learning is supported by qualified instructors, detailed goals and learning material adapted for student groups with special needs. Owing to its flexibility, Tikas supports learners in various ways and gives them a chance to proceed in their studies individually according to their own capabilities.
