In this webinar, Professor Ian Smythe presents a number of free resources that can be used to assist learners with dyslexia to access materials on and through their computer.
In a social model of dyslexia support, appropriate assistive technology would be supplied free to everybody, irrespective of the extent of their disabilities and the paperwork to support it. However, current policies provide money to the lucky few with little analysis of impact, productivity and value for money. Professor Ian Smythe shows that there is plenty of free software available, and often it is as good as the commercial versions. A dedicated web page with resources will be available after the talk.
This webinar is aimed at teachers, school administrators, parents and learners themselves.
