Assistive Technology Saturday Session
On April 6th, 2019, LDANL hosted a workshop for parents, students, people with Learning Disabilities and others interested in the topic of Assistive Technology. Our presenters were Anna Powell, Department of Education as well as Kerri Whelan and Janine Foley of the NL English School District. Participants got some solid information and some hands-on time trying out the features of Read and Write Gold as well as some Google features. The session was well attended and appreciated by all.
