Software for dyslexia
GCU provides students with access to a range of assistive software packages and equipment which can help with learning, reading, writing and note-taking. Assistive technology includes both hardware and software that can help people with disabilities, but many types of assistive technology are helpful for people without disabilities too.
The GCU Disability Team have created a document which outlines how to use Accessible Technologies for remote working.
If you have any questions about assistive software, please ask out Assistive Technology Advisor Thomas Welsh.
