More than 20% of the US population has some form of dyslexia and there are now apps emerging that are aimed at helping dyslexic students maintain the same level of learning as their peers. Mashable recently posted an interesting list of apps that can help dyslexic people of all ages, including a PDF voice reader, and an app called openWeb that makes web browsing more accessible by converting text into a more readable format. ModMath is an app that allows users to type math problems instead of writing them by hand, which can prove difficult for people with dyslexia or dysgraphia (not being able to write coherently). The app provides virtual graph paper and a calculator, and the user can print out his or her work or email it directly to a teacher. The app is also great for students who struggle to keep math problems lined up and legible. If you are struggling with teachers (or family members) who don’t really understand what dyslexia is and want to give them more information, try sending them the link for What is Dyslexia?
