For students with dyslexia, the process of writing a sentence, paragraph, or essay can be a daunting task. Difficulties with spelling, organization, and editing all contribute to a frustrating experience. In addition, low working memory makes the writing process next to impossible.
Fortunately, in this day and age, assistive technology can make writing easier for all students. In this webinar,
Jamie Martin, an assistive technology consultant with over 20 years of educational experience, will introduce several AT tools, both for the desktop and the iPad, that your children can utilize to better express their ideas in writing.
Hosted by Learning Ally, this free, hour-long session is also valuable for teachers, tutors and specialists who work with children who have dyslexia and learning differences.
The live webinar, which over 1,000 people registered to attend, took place on November 19, 2014. It was recorded and can be viewed below:
