The EdTech Times - StudyDog helps special needs children learn to read
Summary
As kids go back to school, they might struggle with basic reading concepts, but with continued effort and an individualized approach to learning, special needs students can learn to read. Parents and teachers of children with special needs are using advancements in digital learning like StudyDog to help build reading skills. “Technology is a wonderful tool for helping special needs children learn to read,” said Deme Clainos, CEO of StudyDog, an online reading program for elementary school students. The online software incorporates interactive characters and games that make children want to come back for more. Communication from the characters is in a language that kids understand and react to in a very positive way,” said Dave Hall, a special education teacher at Heights Elementary School.
