<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2 color="#0000FF">I recall a
presentation at Accessing Higher Ground where the teachers paired the use
of Inspiration with Dragon Naturally Speaking for at-risk students in
junior high and high school. They had kids independently writing
full essays by the end of the grant. They did a lot of coaching in
the use of Dragon in the initial stages. The students created a web
from which to speak in Inspiration, using the pictures if necessary.<br>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2 color="#0000FF">A quick look back at
the CU site, I found only this reference to the late Lanne Lancaster's
work with the Community College of Aurora - from 2000:

<a href="http://www.edc.org/spk2wrt/">http://www.edc.org/spk2wrt/</a> .
She may have been part of the work that I remember Cherry Creek High
School (Aurora, CO) being involved... They may also have been working
with Adaptive Technologies, an AT provider in the Denver area. (Charles
or Randy, does this ring a bell?)<br>

<font face="Arial, Helvetica" size=2 color="#0000FF">The ATRC at Colorado
State has also had success with students with major speech impediments
although it takes a lot of work and patience on the part of the
user.<br>
I know that Voc Rehab in Denver has even stepped back to discrete speech
recognition for users.<br>

I am interested in knowing if you guys know of any research that suggests
that the above software (Dragon NaturallySpeaking) is beneficial for
children who are experiencing learning difficulties in literacy. If
you do, could you let me know. Thanks, Anne
