He will focus on how AT can benefit students with learning differences. Software that will be demonstrated includes: Dragon Dictate for Mac, Co:Writer, Kurzweil 3000, Inspiration, iFlash, Ginger, and Blio

After taking this workshop, participants will be able to recommend appropriate AT tools for students who are struggling in their classes.

Below is an electronic handout of the assistive technology currently in use at The Kildonan School. It contains a list of the software that will be demonstrated during the presentation, plus other AT that there will not be time to demonstrate (including iOS apps that can help struggling students). Included in the list are links to software websites and current pricing.
