Dyslexia and education

It is critically important that children with disabilities have access to the same curriculum that other children have if they are going to become successful adults. Simply put, children with disabilities should be learning what other children are learning in school and schools should be held accountable for results. Current research indicates that a large number of children with disabilities aren't learning the same things in school as other children and therefore are not going to be in a position to graduate from high school or to be successful in life.

If curriculum texts are made digitally available in PDF format through the use of Acrobat reader with PDFAloud, children with reading disabilities can sit side by side with their peers, accessing the same text in the same layout, keeping up with the class. Students feel included and are motivated by the independence they gain from this technology.
