SC Assistive Technology Program
celebrates Learning Disabilities Awareness Month
October was originally designated in the US as Learning Disabilities Month in 1985 through a proclamation by President Ronald Reagan. Organizations that assist individuals with learning disabilities use the month to inform the public about learning disabilities. It is also a time to pay particular attention to children and adults with learning disabilities. SCATP is asking you to teach one person something new about learning disabilities this month.
Some examples would be:
- Explaining why individuals with Dyslexia use text to speech
- Letting a person know about an App that allows you to use your voice to type, called speech to text or speech recognition
- Letting a person know how to find audio books using BookShare or Learning Ally
SCATP provides demonstrations and equipment loans to people with disabilities. To find out more about our program and its services, call 803-935-5263 or email tammy.wallace@uscmed.sc.edu.
