Learn about options for students working from home to access free licenses of Kurzweil 3000 during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as training videos posted on YouTube.

Through a live demonstration by Linda Petty, you will learn advanced features of Kurzweil 3000 and strategies to support students with disabilities in the transition from High School to University using one integrated software for reading, dictionary access, studying, brainstorming, writing, thus:

  *   Mastering the increase in reading of 250 pages per week, or 50 pages per week, per course
  *   Manage readings while commuting by accessing their readings on multiple devices seamlessly, in audio or visual and audio formats
  *   Easily understand and collate new vocabulary in the more advanced subjects without leaving the reading software, and create a floating dictionary for reference as they read
  *   Use learning strategies to link new knowledge from texts to their prior knowledge, moving readings from short term to long term memory, rather than trying to master information by memorizing
  *   Become independent of Special Ed Resource teachers and EAs who provided formatted reading materials; automatically transforming PDFs, JPEGs, web documents and more into text which can be read aloud and edited.

Linda Petty, MSc.OT, OT Reg. (Ont.) is an occupational therapist with over 25 years of experience in supporting people with a range of disabilities in achieving their goals, utilizing assistive technology. Linda worked with students with physical, cognitive and mental health conditions, among others, during her over 20 year tenure as an Assistive Technology Consultant and Clinical Specialist at the University of Toronto.
