DST Explained by Helen Crawford (Award
winning Deputy Headteacher, Murphy Crescent Special School, UK)
DST - you don’t need to know what it stands for, you just need to know that it
works!
Imagine being able to operate a whole host of multi-sensory teaching and
learning devices from any where within a 30m radius, imagine being able to
press a switch from any position, imagine not having connecting wires all
around the room and you have DST.
The technology, which is called DST, is very simple, it means cause and effect.
When a switch is pressed something will happen. This could be as simple as a
light or fan being switched on or an elaborate scenario of sound, light, scent,
video and vibration.
The switches and the device they operate are not connected by a wire, they can
be positioned to meet the needs of the pupils and their teachers.
The range of DST equipment available is wide and can be used in a variety of
ways for pupils to develop imaginative play, creative skills, language and
communication skills; understanding of cause and effect and an increased
awareness of the world around them. All the equipment can be operated by a
variety of switch devices. If schools cannot find a device to meet their needs
in the catalogue, their existing equipment can often be converted to DST.
The type of switches produced by The Sensory Company are imaginative, engaging
and above all user friendly. Pupils of all ages and abilities enjoy throwing
the dice and are enchanted by the colour changes in the DST Twirler and Bubble
Tube. More able children enjoy
playing ‘beat the technology’ by shouting out the colour before it can change.
They also enjoy trying to beat the ‘voice in the speaker’, the speaker that can
be plugged in anywhere in the room, usually wins, telling children clearly the
number on the upper surface of the Dice.
The DST MegaButtons are fun to use and have the added flexibility of being
programmed by the teacher to meet a wide range of needs. Favourite switches can
also be plugged into the Megabuttons so they become part of the DST package -
the use of DST is as limited as your imagination.
We are furnishing a school corridor with DST equipment. Thanks to the
development of pioneering software, the corridor is easy to use without moving
or programming individual pieces.
DST is completely different to any other equipment available and is well worth
seeing. Contact The Sensory Company on +44 (0) 845 838 22 33 to

better ourselves!
