Helperbird: Making the Web Accessible for Every Learner

Join Robert James Gabriel, founder of Helperbird, for a practical session on how Helperbird can support children and young people with additional support needs. Built out of Robert's own experience with dyslexia. Helperbird is an award-winning browser extension that transforms any website into an accessible and personalised learning space. In this webinar, he will explore the powerful tools Helperbird offers, including text-to-speech with natural voices, immersive reading mode, word prediction, dyslexia-friendly fonts, coloured overlays, voice typing, translation, and OCR for images and PDFs. Robert will also demonstrate how Helperbird integrates seamlessly with Google Docs, Slides, Classroom, and PDFs, making it a powerful companion for learners with dyslexia, ADHD, low vision, and complex communication needs. Whether you are a teacher, Support for Learning Teacher, or assistive technology specialist, you will leave with practical strategies and ideas for bringing Helperbird into your learners' daily routines to support independence, confidence, and success.
