Special Needs Exhibition Worcester
Dolphin sponsors new exhibittion for Special Education Needs
3rd Dec, 2005
With over 25% of children in education suffering with learning difficulties of some kind, finding a solution that makes the learning process easier and offers new hope for these children is a key priority in our schools. Whilst there are many solutions available to help, very few parents and teachers know about them or where they can be obtained.
Dolphin Computer Access, the specialist computer software company, is helping to bring advice and help to people affected by dyslexia, learning difficulties and print impairments, in Worcester. Dolphin is organising and sponsoring a new Special Needs exhibition in the city, which will show case a range of computer access and education solutions. The exhibition will also include support from the British Dyslexia Association, the Dyslexia Institute, the Worcester Association for the Blind and the Royal National College for the Blind, so visitors can get expert advice and information on the day. There will also be several special needs technology suppliers present including Dolphin, Optelec, Professional Vision Services and Force 10, so parents and teachers alike will be able to experience the latest solutions from a range of different companies.
The exhibition will be held on Thursday 26th January at the Worcester Guildhall, which is located in the middle of Worcester High Street, a short walk from Foregate Street train station. Admission is free and everyone is welcome. The exhibition is open between 10am and 4pm.
Steve Hawkes, Dolphin's Marketing Manager comments; "Many Special Needs exhibitions have been running successfully across the country for some time now and we wanted to bring this wealth of experience, knowledge and advice to those in the Worcester area. We hope that the event will be worthwhile and offer a range of solutions to help improve literacy standards in the area. If it is successful, we hope that this will become a regular event."
