One of the most useful resources for dyslexic students are assistive technologies. The London South Bank University is a great example, as it contains multiple features for disabled students. Students who are registered with the university’s Disability and Dyslexia Support group may access the Assistive Technology Center and Learning Resource Center. This video shows off this useful space.

The resources include a collection of assistive software such as ClaroRead, TextHelp, MindManager and Supernova, and a Da Vinci reader. Additionally, staff can provide a one-to-one training session for new users of the software. The campus library also hosts assistive features, like private study rooms available for booking. This shows what wonderful, useful resources a school can offer to its dyslexic students.
