My partner has spent the last number of years digitising a programme that his uncle had used for many decades. Eventually we are going to turn it all into one combined interactive programme, but we need to test the waters. Please note the sound is not terrific yet ... only the first draft of recorded files. Jon has over a thousand pages like these that I am animating in different ways. Please let me know if they work for you! thanks Carmel James Teacher Librarian NSW Australia. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Rosen" <djrosen@comcast.net> To: "Multiple recipients of list" <nifl-ld@literacy.nifl.gov> Sent: Sunday, August 14, 2005 1:27 AM Subject: [NIFL-LD:4805] Reading and Writing disabilities Software > 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.
