ALL Tracks
In this student-centered session, you’ll hear directly from a student with dyslexia and her mother, an educator, as they share their journey navigating school, learning challenges, and the supports that make a difference. The student will describe what she needs to be successful in the classroom, the role her teachers play in supporting her, and how technology empowers her to thrive. Together, they will highlight practical strategies, tools, and perspectives that bridge home and school — offering a deeply personal look at how technology can break barriers, build confidence, and create pathways for success for students with diverse learning needs.
