Ross Linnett, founder and CEO of Recite Me will be joined by Laura Cook, Managing Director of the Learning Support Centre for a seminar at the Education Show on ‘inclusive learning in the classroom, library or at home’ on Thursday 20 March, 11.00 – 11.45 am in the Technology in Education theatre. Include Me will be demonstrated during the seminar.
Ross Linnett, CEO of Recite Me said:
“My dyslexia wasn’t diagnosed until after I had completed my university education. Include Me is a software solution that makes today’s classrooms more inclusive from day one.
“With all the advances in Cloud-computing no learner needs to be left behind, technology has the power to transform our education system.
“Include Me makes digital content accessible to everyone from those 15% of the population with dyslexia to people with English as a second language.”
Laura Cook, Managing Director of the Learning Support Centre said:
“Many learners would not be disabled if resources were more accessible. For some dyslexic learners having text on a yellow background with green text will mean the difference in being able to read what is in front of them or not.
“One of my colleagues recently changed the background colour on a mature student’s computer, the student burst into tears because she was able to read the written text without it moving for the first time.”
