Using Ict To Support People With Dyslexia
As we become more aware of how widespread dyslexia and other reading and writing problems are and how limiting their effects can be, there is a need for earlier identification and more effective remedial action. Computers are an extremely effective tool in making this possible. This course will equip delegates with information on software & hardware that helps those who have a reading & writing difficulty. At the end of the course, you will have a greater awareness and practical knowledge of how the computer can be used to help address reading and writing difficulties, such as Dyslexia.

“This is one of the most helpful courses of its type that I have ever attended.  I would recommend it to colleagues!”  Senior Lecturer, FE College.

The course will explore a range of solutions to help people with dyslexia including:



  • Adjustment to settings within Windows and Office to provide access to text


  • Adjustments to the display that will aid clarity


  • Supporting reading through the use of voice output


  • Supporting text entry through word prediction software


  • Supporting text entry through voice recognition in Vista and Windows


  • The hands on exercises built ionto this course will ensure that learnesr have an opportunity to practice the skills demonstrated
