40 Years of the British Dyslexia Association

After attending a conference this week talking about the past, present and future goals for Dyslexia support and campaigning in the UK. The British Dyslexia Association is now 40 years old and the work they have done has been of help to millions of people.

From professionals in Science and Technology, to teachers, facilitators and fellow dyslexics from all walks of life. It was a great day for me and I'm sure everybody involved. Visit their website and this blog about the past 40 years of the BDA. The British Dyslexia Association

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/#
