#73 Learning support specialist talks about having a complete dyslexia support not just assistive tech Dyslexia Explored

    • Education

Steve McCue stopped going to school at age 14 because he did not think he had the academic ability.  He worked different jobs and performed in festivals as a musician but at age 35 he went back to school and got identified with dyslexia. He was given a computer to work with and that helped him a lot. However, assistive technologies were pretty basic at that time and some even caused roadblocks for him. Now he is working with different kids who are struggling as a learning support specialist, he noticed that some schools see assistive technology as a panacea and neglects the emotional side of the problem.
