Core of Education Launches Part Two in Five-Part Series Titled “Educational Technology and Dyslexia: Using Tech to Eliminate Needless Suffering”
(PRWEB) November 20, 2013 -- Dr. Rod Berger, host of Core of Education and editor for EdTechReview.in chats again with Michael Hart, Ph.D. in the second of a five-part series about how technology has dramatically altered the ways students with dyslexia are treated. Dr. Berger and Dr. Hart discuss the “mapping” approach to education technology solutions and dive into voice recognition software, mobile versus laptop, text-to-voice tools and audio books as tools to assist dyslexic children.
Dr. Michael Hart, the Principal and Owner of DoctorMichaelHart.com, has special expertise in dyslexia and attention deficit disorders. After 25 years of practice, he now provides online services including consultations, courses and webinars. He blogs regularly and writes for several publications.
Dr. Hart cuts to the core of issues facing the one in five students who suffer from some degree of difficulty with developing adequate skills in reading, writing and spelling. He also profiles a young girl, named "Elizabeth", and illustrates the impact intervention and technology can have on a 6th grader reading at the 2nd grade level along with providing links to relevant resources.
“Dr. Hart provides the special education community with edtech resources for individuals looking to equip themselves with powerful tools.” said Dr. Berger. “It's inspiring to hear about the kids that this technology is helping on an individual and personal level.”
Both men chat about the foundations of language processing and the impact this knowledge can have on classroom instruction around the world.
