Solutions for Special Education
Help students in special education learn and express themselves like never before
Give students in special education equal access to the curriculum
For too long, students in special education have come up against many barriers to learning. These barriers can include not being able to access text, in the same way their peers do, as well as not being able to demonstrate their mastery of a topic in a traditional way. With Texthelp tools, students in special education can access and engage with lessons with confidence, alongside their peers.
Education Health and Care Plans
Education Health and Care Plans (EHC Plans) identifies educational, health, and social needs for children and young people up to the age of 25. They are designed to support students who need more support than what is available through special educational needs provision in mainstream education. The provisions laid out in an EHC plan usually include some forms of assistive technology (AT).
Texthelp tools, designed with the principles of Universal Design for Learning in mind, give educators and students a range of supports to compliment learning in the classroom and at home. Helping students to become more confident and independent learners.

Deepen understanding and increase engagement in maths
From learners with Dyslexia to EAL students, we all learn and understand maths in different ways - just like with reading and writing. Equatio allows students to grasp new concepts in ways that they can easily understand. It also allows students to respond to maths problems and worksheets using various tools.
Equatio
Equatio’s accessibility features help your students to be independent in every subject. It improves their learning experiences by giving them choice in how they learn maths. This includes having maths read aloud, using “maths to speech” and taking maths beyond pen and paper to visualise concepts digitally.
Level the playing field at exam time
Equipping students with accommodations at exam time is the only way to make sure that we’re giving them a level playing field to ‘Show what they know’. Whether we’re talking about class tests, or high stakes exams, our tools can be enabled in examination environments to allow students in special education to show their knowledge and reasoning.
