• ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS FOR READING SUCCESS
  The Georgia Branch of the International Dyslexia Association
  
  A two day workshop for teachers led by Sally Kemph from the Georgia Project for Assistive Technology (GPAT)
  
  Struggling readers often have difficulty completing classroom reading activities due to phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and/or comprehension difficulties. Assistive technology solutions are available to assist in remediating reading deficits and to aid in compensating for difficulties that the student is experiencing in these areas. In this lab session, a range of low technology to high technology reading tools will be demonstrated. Suggestions for selecting tools to meet individual student needs will be addressed.
  
  More Details Coming Soon!
