The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) provides an inclusive digital experience to support those with learning disabilities and attention issues online.
The NCLD was founded in 1977 as the Foundation for Children with Learning Disabilities and since has worked tirelessly to create an equal society for all, providing the skills needed to succeed in school, at work, and in life.
The NCLD uses Recite Me accessibility and language tools on their website, to enable users with a disability, learning difficulty, visual impairment, or those who speak English as a second language to read and understand online content.
70% of websites in the US have critical accessibility issues, leaving those vulnerable with a lack of information and services.
The assistive technology on the NCLD’s website includes screen reading functionality, multiple reading aids, customisable styling options, and an on-demand live translation feature that boasts over 100 languages including 35 text-to-speech and styling options.
Grace Aiyedogbon, Communications & Advocacy Specialist at NCLD commented
“Our mission is to improve the lives of the 1 in 5 children and adults nationwide with learning and attention issues-by empowering parents and young adults, transforming schools, and advocating for equal rights and opportunities.
“It is essential to provide accessible ways to engage with NCLD’s content to serve and accommodate our growing community of diverse learners.”
To explore the customisable language and accessibility toolbar go to the NCLD’s website.
