[Sugar-devel] [IAEP] 2 idea's to train people dyslexia

[David Farning]

Marten,

I would like to introduce you to Marilyn Hagle (CCed).  She is active
at the intersection of dyslexia and technology based education tools.

She has recently written a grant to set up a pilot for researching and
using sugar as a platform for helping kids overcome or adapt to their
dyslexia.
