About the research
Every class has at least one student with a learning disability such as dyslexia or dyscalculia. However, some schools do not always allow aids such as laptops with reading software or calculators for these students. Researcher Sabine Vandevelde (HOGENT) explains why this needs to change. Together with a colleague, she developed ‘Dysparcours’, an empathy tool that helps teachers, care coordinators, and parents to better understand what children with learning disabilities experience.

A programme that allows you, together with your school team, to look for a solution that works for your school.
