Assistive Technology (AT) can be a helpful tool and support for persons with dyslexia. On this page we provide a variety of websites with AT information and resources. We recognize that there is so much information, it can be overwhelming. And in the upcoming months we will curate some of this information to make it easier to use.
Websites with helpful information:
Headstrong Nation
https://www.php.com/directory/headstrong-nation/
Headstrong Nation is a non-profit dedicated to serving the dyslexic community.
Founded by Ben Foss in 2003, Headstrong Nation aims to end the isolation of the world’s largest (it’s true!) disability group by providing information about dyslexia, self-advocacy and new technologies. To do this we help dyslexic adults and parents of dyslexic children learn the facts, figure out how to play to their strengths and connect with others to form a movement dedicated to levelling the playing field for people like us.
The best way to stay in touch with Headstrong Nation is through our Facebook page. Post on our wall or send us a message if you have a question or comment! We will do our best to get back to you promptly.
