Comprehensive Assistive Tools for Diverse Learning Needs; Sensory Readable Suite integrates multiple assistive features, including:
- Text-to-Speech with Underline Highlighting: Provides real-time spoken feedback with subtle underline highlighting in Microsoft Office and other accessible software, aiding students with reading difficulties.
- Sensory PDF Reader: A dedicated, secure PDF viewer suitable for general documents and exams.
- Sensory Ruler and Tint: Tools that enhance visual readability by masking sections of the screen and adjusting colour tints, beneficial for students with visual processing challenges.
These features collectively support students with dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences, promoting a fully inclusive learning environment.
Enhanced Accessibility Across Platforms; The suite is compatible with Windows 10 and 11 and includes Readable Web – web extensions for Edge, Chrome, and Safari on macOS. This cross-platform compatibility ensures that students can access assistive tools regardless of the device they use, ensuring consistent support both in school and at home.
Cost-Effective Licensing Options; The education site license allows installation on all computers owned by the licensed institution, offering both annual and perpetual licensing options starting from £475. This makes it a cost-effective solution for schools of varying sizes.
Support for Examinations and Academic Success; The suite includes tools compliant with examination standards, such as the JCQ-compliant Sensory PDF Reader, enabling students requiring accommodations to participate in assessments effectively. These features help establish and maintain a student’s normal way of working (NWOW) throughout the academic year, ensuring consistency between daily learning support and exam conditions. This alignment with JCQ Access Arrangements is essential for providing equitable access, supporting reasonable adjustments and reducing barriers during assessments.
By enabling students to use the same tools in both classroom and exam settings, Sensory Readable helps build familiarity, reduces exam anxiety, and supports improved academic performance and confidence across a wide range of educational needs.
Meeting Government Digital Accessibility Standards; Sensory Readable fully supports the UK Government’s Digital Accessibility Standards for schools and colleges, aligning with national guidance on inclusive education technology. This ensures that institutions investing in the platform are not only enhancing individual learner outcomes but are also meeting wider digital and statutory responsibilities.
The Sensory Readable Education Site License offers a comprehensive, secure, and versatile assistive technology solution tailored to support diverse learning needs, enhances accessibility, and promotes academic success, making it a valuable investment for educational institutions. It also offers robust long-term support as it is approved both by the DSA and ATW ensuring that schools are truly preparing students for future success and independence.
