Harnessing Technology for Learning
(Click here for workshop information for schools)
This workshop aims to familiarise attendees with the vast range of technologies available and how they can support dyslexic learners.
WE DO NOT SELL ANY PRODUCTS SO WE ARE ABLE TO GIVE INDEPENDENT ADVICE
We believe that the effective use of IT is vital in helping those with SpLD to achieve academically. However, since there is a plethora of technology out there of varying quality, how can you know where to start?
ACHIEVE NOW CAN HELP YOU to QUICKLY and easily NAVIGATE your way
through a HUGE RANGE OF LEARNING TECHNOLOGIES
Through our practical experience with dyslexic learners, we have researched and tested many educational technologies.
Workshops - what do they cover?
We introduce a vast range of technology, to help transform learning and to ultimately boost confidence and motivation.

Who should attend?
Workshops are suitable for anyone interested in supporting learners with SpLD, including parents, teachers, tutors, adult dyslexics and older children (14 years plus).
Where & when are they held?
Workshops are often requested and organised by a specific organisation. These include:
Regional parent support groups (evenings and Saturday mornings)
Employers (usually lunch time sessions)
Schools (sessions for parents, teachers and sometimes students, held in the evenings or during a school day).
When interested parents and teachers learn together, it engenders a productive collaboration between home and school that benefits all.
This allows the content to be tailored to meet specific needs.
Have you had a talk at your school or workplace yet?
It only needs a few parents to ask and get the school or employer into action!

“‘An excellent presentation, packed with information to take home and digest at our leisure.’
I shall be constantly referring to your slides and look forward to practising many of the suggestions. I am putting some of the recommendations in a report that I am writing at the moment.
I really do think IT is the way to go for dyslexic learners.
