“Thank you so much for coming down and training us all- you were wonderful to work with! Nicky has been using the skills that you taught her and is much less terrified of some IT now! Jacob and I were showing students and teachers how to use the Immersive reader and dictation at his school today- they were thrilled and can’t wait to use it to support their reading and writing at school!“

I am a problem-solver. I fix things for people to do with their technology that enables them to do something they could not do before.
