Children with learning disabilities (LD), like dyslexia, have trouble understanding words they read. Causes are unclear, but we now know that LD is not due to a lack of intelligence or a desire to learn. While dyslexia is a life-long condition, early identification, support from a parent or teacher, and access to digital or audio books and other learning materials may help your child to improve their learning outcomes and be better prepared to successfully work around their LD.

The Reactive Colours project, funded by NESTA, identified that certain fundamental aspects of social interaction and communication could be promoted in young children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions through technology environments that enable children to play and explore without fear of failure. A practical outcome of this research has been the fully customisable ReacTickles software.
