(Date accessed: 04.02.2012) / The website is aimed at those who have a physical disability or are the carers of, or work directly with someone with a physical disability.
Scope is a registered charity, which along with providing information about how the public can help, campaigns, recent events and news, and stories from families and sufferers, the website also provides information that specifically relates to cerebral palsy and education.
http://www.scope.org.uk/help-and-information/education/cerebral-palsy-toolkit / The website provides key information, guidance and training that teachers and professionals in mainstream schools can access to build their knowledge of Cerebral Palsy.
Within Early Years there are the following useful resources:
-  Play resources – free PDF information guides on play, games, including risk assessments and inclusion.
-  Colouring resources with pictures representing some of the difficulties faced by Cerebral Palsy sufferers.
-  Books which include stories about people with disabilities.
-  Communication resources, such as communication passports,
-  ACC (Alternative, Augmentative, Communication). There are PDF’s on all of the modules for AAC including the final module which has links and references to a vast array of charities and organisations which work with people with difficulties in communication.
Within Primary there are the following useful resources:
-  Access and approaches to literacy (ACC)
-  Access and approaches to numeracy.
-  Inclusion.
These three links are currently under construction.
Educational resources, information and hints in for general learning difficulties include:
-  Auditory Scanning.
-  Behaviour Management
-  Spatial Awareness.
-  Conductive Education.
-  Fatigue Management.
-  Homework

This is just a small sample of the site and the resources offered. / This website provides extensive information on Cerebral Palsy and other disabilities.
Having looked specifically at Education and Cerebral Palsy I would argue that this site is extremely useful for teachers who are working with children who not only have Cerebral Palsy but also those who have communication problems.
The resources are generally free, easy to use and understand.
Of particular use is the information and resources on Alternative Augmentation Communication (ACC).
In addition to the educational provision it provides it also lists extensively general information on Cerebral Palsy, which would be of great use and benefit in the classroom.
An incredibly useful website and one which will certainly be a useful provision in the classroom.
