Supporting learners with special educational needs using assistive technology
You’ll rarely find a teenager who doesn’t feel observed when they’re relying on a SEN teaching assistant or reader for classroom support. Although it still beats reading unsupported, it can make your learners feel singled out, and very visible to their peers – as well as foster the idea that to read, there must be a hand there to hold.
A reading pen can give secondary SEN learners their reading independence back.
A SEN teaching assistant for reading at home?
Learners don’t just read in school. A SEN teaching assistant or human reader support can’t aid outside the classroom.
Dyslexia reading aids open the door to reading fluency at home and on the go. It’s about building the confidence to read, so that they can revise, join in, and even read for pleasure – giving students the chance to develop a love for literacy.

It’s as simple as scan, listen, and understand: just plug in the headphones and move the pen across the text on the page. Whether used as a dyslexia reading aid or an assistive tech learning tool to help readers feel more supported and in control, scanning pens combine a suite of reading support tools with a super-simple scan-and-go design.

What could your recommended devices do for your students?
There was a Year 11 student who’s got quite significant reading needs – she took C-Pen Reader 2 and Exam Reader 2 home, got to grips with them straight away, and really found that it made a significant difference to her.
Her parents were so positive about them, and said what a difference it made both to her reading for pleasure at home and her confidence in her exams.
