Hope for children with dysorthography
Fondation Dora supported the research institute Icare (based in Sierre, Switzerland)
in the development of multi-platform writing aid software for individuals with dysorthography and/or dyslexia, compatible with current academic adaptation practices.
This new tool comprises different modules of predictive text specifically designed for individuals with dysorthography. It gives students a higher degree of autonomy in their daily writing tasks, whether at school, at home, in therapy sessions or in other situations. The digital tool lightens the cognitive load of dual-tasking and, in certain cases, enables students to reintegrate the conventional school system. It is provided free of charge in specialised classrooms in French-speaking cantons.
