DYNAREAD - TTS Text to Speech Assistive Technology
Dyslexia affects writing, reading, and organizational skills. Although intervention programs remain the primary tool in helping children with dyslexia, the use of assistive technology can help a child or student to progress academically. Please do note: These tools should never take the place of helping a child learn to read.
