Supporting People with Dyslexia using iPads, tablets and other devices (Dyslexia Scotland)

Dyslexia Scotland and CALL Scotland are working together to provide two free webinars on the use of technology to support children and adults with dyslexia. They are aimed at people with dyslexia, parents and teachers based in Scotland. The first will focus on the use of software for Windows computers, while the second will feature iPads, Android tablets and other devices.

You can view the webinar on a computer or tablet at home, or at work. You will be able to ask the presenters questions during the live broadcast. If you are unable to watch it at the scheduled time, you will be able to view an archived version at a time to suit after the original broadcast.
