You are very right when you say that tools should be available to everyone. In Ottawa, Ontario Canada we formed a community collaboration between the four school boards and three post secondary colleges and universities. We created a website with FREE online training resources and videos for students on the learning strategies using assistive technology--voice to text software, read aloud software, graphic organizers. We were lucky to receive grants from the Ontario Trillium Foundation, Inukshuk Fund, Cowan Foundation and from an anonymous donor. Please have a look at the site, especially the Student Videos (we are making the college/university videos right now and will put them on the site in March 2011). We are also creating a Teacher Training program to help teachers integrate AT into their classrooms. It should be ready soon too. Please share this site with others. www.ocri.ca/at in order to help as many people with dyslexia as possible. thank you for sharing, Lee-Ann Mother and Advocate for students with LD Jennifer,
