Persons with MDVI are facing major challenges in expressing themselves, in communication and learning. Experience and knowledge in how assistive devices could help this target group is starting to grow slowly. Only a small number of institutes in Europe are trying to gather their knowledge and experience to create a practice based methodology. The MDVI target group is relatively small (although 70% of all persons with a mental disability have a visual impairment too) but complex. To get a good perspective and create a qualitative good curriculum from different perspectives, international exchange of existing experience has great added value. Using assistive devices is a way of making learning easier for this target group. iExpress has contributed to this enormously by the exchange of already existing knowledge and by developing a validated curriculum and a practice-based methodology for using assistive devices for (MDVI). The following three objectives of the project were reached:1. Exchange of existing curricula in Europe for training MDVI with assistive devices.2. Design and validate a screening instrument for training MDVI persons with ICT.3. Exchange of knowledge and expertise in learning strategies of MDVI and assistive devices.During the project 4 transnational meetings took place. The meetings included: start-up, evaluation, project-management, instruction of experts, construction of the EU curriculum, dissemination, sustainability, coordination of the validation-process. The first phase of the project was the construction phase in which a EU curriculum was set up: creation of a common curriculum. During this phase (August 2016 - April 2017) amongst others existing curricula were researched. It turned out that these were basically non-existent. During this same phase, as a next step the partnership developed, designed and validated a screening instrument which allowed to know how the existing curricula could be used in MDVI. What followed was the validation phase (April 2017 - November 2017 ): During this period the screening instruments were designed (one for Blind and one for Low Vision), their content validity was proved by experts of different countries, data was collected from 29 MDVI students of the Netherlands, Hungary and Iceland, and construct validity and reliability were proved too.The final products of the project are two screening instruments (for blind or low vision students) that allows to know the degree in which ICT could be used by MDVI in their learning process. After the assessment provided for these instruments, the common European curriculum proposed could be used or adapted for these students. This product can be used by professionals working with MDVI children. To make the product a more sustainable and more efficient tool the partnership is working on the continuation of this project by proposing a follow up project in which a comprehensive toolkit is developed that provides MDVI professionals with guidelines and innovative tools and elearning instructions to use the validated screening instrument to test and train MDVI children and to increase children's ICT skills and capabilities with assistive devices. The solution will include the function of an individual ICT plan which allows the professional to determine the next steps after assessment and to monitor the child’s progress over time. The applications will be, as much as possible, language free so it will enable the use by any professional.During the whole process the work done under the iExpress project by the partners was disseminated (August 2016 - January 2018) amongst others (not limited) by information through presentations at conferences, websites, flyers, to all existing networks (ENVITER, EASPD, EBU, etc.). These networks have spread the word about the work done and are very eager to contribute to the follow up of iExpress. The group of MDVI children is relatively small and rather complex, however we may expect that in the longer term, in the years after the this project and ultimately a follow up project has ended, over a hundred professionals and over a thousand children and family members will benefit.
