Subject: Press Release: Acorn sponsors 'Micros for Special Needs'

Acorn Sponsors 'Micros for Special Needs' for Third Year Running
Acorn Computers, the leader in special needs computer equipment, is once
again sponsoring this year's 'Micros for Special Needs' Exhibition. Acorn
will also be exhibiting its latest range of hardware solutions in
conjunction with a number of associated software developers at the show,
which takes place at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in Oldham from 6th - 8th
October 1993.
Sponsoring the exhibition now for the third successive year, Acorn's name
has become synonymous with special needs computing. The Cambridge-based
supplier has worked closely in partnership with the community for many
years, and its innovative range of 32-bit RISC computers is acknowledged by
the vast majority of software producers to be the hardware platform most
suitable for the special needs arena.
Peter Talbot, Acorn's General Manager, UK Education, explained why Acorn
computers have become recognised as the obvious choice in this area: "As the
leading supplier of computers to schools in the UK, we work closely with all
sectors of the education community to ensure that, as far as possible, our
products really do match the needs of each and every user. The built in
features, such as stereo sound, which come as standard in all Acorn
computers, mean that schools can successfully integrate special needs
solutions within an overall classroom IT strategy, rather than having to
address such requirements separately.
"The benefits of this are quite clear, and consequently the range of special
needs applications now available for the Acorn platform is far wider than on
any other machine. Given that Acorn is once more the name that links so many
of the exhibitors at this year's 'Micros for Special Needs', sponsoring the
show again seemed the natural thing to do!"
Besides supporting this exhibition, Acorn Computers will also be sponsoring
the Special Needs Village at BETT '94, which takes place between 12th - 15th
January 1994 at Olympia, London.
