What I am Doing...

Currently, I am using my iPhone and iPad consistently to develop and maintain my forward thinking. Also taking ownership of my learning and progression. I get ideas out of head straight away - due to my short term memory I have copy for my own reference.



I am not trying to promote Apple, but personally it ticks my boxes within communication.

I am much more organised as there is less paper! Using my iPhone/iPad I can use apps (such as Talk to Me and Dragon) to help me where I need it.

As long as I have the tools around me, I can work the same as any other person. I am a tactile and visual learner. Sometimes I can lose focus, but using assistive technology helps gather my thoughts and carry on to complete the task at hand.

My dyslexia will always be here, it is about finding ways to embrace it and use the technology available to me. Don't judge me with the way I work, I will always find a way of completing the task in hand. It might be a different way of doing it, but I will get it done to the best of my ability.

Assistant App

Assistant App is a great new app powered by the Nuance voice technology used for Dragon and other applications.   It allows you to organise your time by way of a calendar with all dates and events now added by voice recording. As a dyslexic it allows me to take ownership in planning my time but also means that others can set me reminders.  Hearing a voice relay the information to me is a great help. Assistant App

ECS Accessibility

From my point of view more businesses and web developers need to consider the needs of a wider audience, making websites more accessible. A group that are doing great work in this area are ECS. Here's what they have to say.. 'We specialise in accessible solutions to meet the needs of your business. Our previous work has included accessible web applications and sites, and accessible software.' Take a look at their website and spread the word to any businesses who are thinking of going online. http://access.ecs.soton.ac.uk/#
