Why

Students with reading and writing challenges often have great ideas but trouble accessing information or getting their thoughts on paper. At our assistive technology summer camp students will use a variety of apps, extentions, software, and websites to help them gather information and write effectively.

WHat

Within the context of language arts assignments, students will learn about apps and software to help them create, communicate, and collaborate without letting their dyslexia get in the way. Some topics covered include speech-to-text, text-to-speech, word prediction, graphic organizers, and more.
