A Picture is Worth....

The parents of the student we will call John were told that it was very unlikely that their son would ever read or write. A partnership with a committed and caring teacher and the WriteAway software proved this to be WRONG.

A Picture of John & Dr. Colin Laine John was a grade 8 student from Ontario, Canada. He was a member of a senior class for the hearing impaired. Coming from being a virtual non-reader/non-writer, John used WriteAway to compose greetings he read to the visiting speaker at the school's graduation.

John is shown receiving the "Special Award" from Dr. Colin Laine, University of Western Ontario, on behalf of his classmates who had evaluated WriteAway as the writing tool of choice. If you wish further information on this project please contact Dr. Colin Laine at:
