Free Webinar: Tech Tools for Dyslexia at work, in education and at home
Freya Robinson | 15 Sep 2023
Dyslexia is a learning difference that can affect, amongst other things, reading and writing skills, organisation skills, and the processing and remembering of information.
This Dyslexia Awareness Week (2-8 October 2023), guest speakers from the British Dyslexia Association and AbilityNet discussed how inclusive tech can bridge the gap to help dyslexic people when learning, at home, or in the workplace.
The panel of speakers, including AbilityNet experts and Catherine Parfitt of the British Dyslexia Association, discussed tried and tested tools and solutions that can benefit some people with dyslexia. We'll also shared lived experience of dyslexia and the tech that can help with everyday tasks, and evaluated a range of 'Dyslexia Simulators'.
