The entire topic of assistive technology is a fascinating one. Would list subscribers be interested in a guest speaker to answer questions and further discuss the topic of assistive technology for us? If so, please suggest possible speakers and I will follow up. People may still be on vacation during August, so I will try to schedule something for September.

Eastern Standard Time From:djrosen@comcast.net Reply-to:nifl-ld@nifl.gov To:nifl-ld@literacy.nifl.gov Sent from the Internet (Details) Rochelle and others, There are a number of commercial software products available to help adults with reading and writing disabilities such as dyslexia and dysgraphia. Some products have been developed for -- or tailored for use with -- adults. Some have been developed for children but may, if used properly, be suitable for adults. I am aware of some of these, but want to know about others. I would also like to know which ones people on this list prefer, and why. Do you use any of these? If so, why do (or don't) you like them, and what you see as their advantages and disadvantages. • WYNN • LEXIA reading SOS • Reading With Phonics • Reading Horizons (HEC) • Academy of Reading • Language Tune-up kit • Learning 100 • Others? [ You will find more information on most of these at my "Adult Literacy Education Software Recommendations" Web page, http:// home.comcast.net/%7Edjrosen/software.html ] Thanks. David J.
