It is a technology-based course for educators and other professionals working within the Scottish Education sector who want to learn how assistive technology can support learners with dyslexia to overcome barriers to learning.
This is a 5-week course with weekly 1-hour online workshops supplemented with a variety of practical and engaging resources to support your teaching and learning.
