I gave my old Mac Plus to my sister-in-law for Christmas. She has a 15-year old son with a form of dyslexia which makes reading very difficult for him -- he can read individual words but not sentences. I am looking for two things: Does anybody know of any Mac software that can be used to teach reading? I am preferentially looking for something specifically aimed at people with learning disabilities. Also: does anybody know of any Mac software which teaches use of the Mac using Macintalk or other voice synthesis? Or a set-up for the finder that (for example) speaks the functions that the button passes over? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Please email replies only. -- Ilana Stern / ilana@ncar.ucar.edu / DoD #00009 The throttle acts primarily as an occasional form of humor and social commentary.
