Inspiration is uniquely suited to supporting students with learning differences. It seamlessly integrates with other assistive technology such as WordQ/SpeakQ (word prediction/voice recognition) and Kurzweil 3000 (scan/read).
The following are just some of the ways Inspiration helps students read, write and learn:
- Memory is supported through the use of colour and symbols (access to one million images), video (attach video files to symbols), listen feature (program reads all text on the screen) and record feature (student can orally record 30 second of information for each symbol on the page)
- Reading Comprehension is supported through the use of images, program templates (reading strategies) and listen feature
- Writing is supported through the use of spell check (automatic), word guide (spelling, definitions and synonyms), note pads ("window" into the written outline), access to a linear written outline, program templates (structured writing) and transfer feature (send diagram and/or outline to Word, Powerpoint etc.)
- Organization is supported through the use of RapidFire feature (quickly brainstorm ideas), arrange feature (easily change linked ideas into webs and maps), colour and images (visually structure ideas), webs (helps students break down large assignment into manageable chunks), checklist (check off completion) and note pads (open as needed to avoid visual clutter).
- Presentation is supported through the use of note pads (open and close to reveal information), subtopics (show and hide to reveal information), hyperlink (instantly access web pages, Inspiration files, files on the computer as part of a oral/visual presentation) and concept mapping (instead of written essays)
