Assistive Technology is evolving. Are you keeping up?

It’s a remarkable time for reading support. The educational landscape is on the brink of changes that will truly revolutionise our practice. New advancements are finding their way into the classroom and sparking confidence in struggling students. 2020 brings the promotion of more equality of access and boosting mental health.

We’ve gathered what we think are the 5 ways that assistive technologies will be implemented to fit the needs of their users.
