Many people make the same mistakes when first starting with Dragon. This session will demonstrate these mistakes and look at how to avoid them, focusing on the key voice commands to help make learning easier.
DSA Students and people at work often find it difficult to set aside training time because they are too busy, or possibly due to concentration, and finding it difficult to remember what is taught.
The Dragon eLearning Solution allows people to work at their own pace and importantly, when they have the time to do this. It is also available all day, every day!

AI-Empowered Learning: Making Research, Reading & Presenting More Accessible

AI is transforming how students research, learn, and present, but how can it be harnessed to truly support neurodivergent learners? In this session, we’ll explore how Tailo, an AI-powered reading and research tool, helps students navigate dense academic content with ease, and how Present Pal builds confidence in presentations. Discover how these assistive tools break down barriers to learning, enhance comprehension, and empower students to succeed. Whether you support students directly or recommend assistive technology, this session will give you practical insights into the future of AI-driven accessibility in education.

Breaking down the thinking and writing process for nonlinear and creative thinkers

The expected writing process can feel restrictive for nonlinear and creative thinkers, as their ideas don't always flow in straight lines. Visual thinking techniques provide a method to express ideas freely. Created digitally, ideas can be easily converted into a coherent and organised writing structure.

In this presentation, we will show how Inspiration 11 provides a solution for users with neuro-differences and cognitive challenges to harness their creativity and overcome memory, organisational, and writing challenges. Reeza will also demonstrate how the output from generative AI chatbots can be input into Inspiration to create visual diagrams.
