TESTIMONIAL
“I have a student who is Low Vision and ESL, primary Spanish speaker. Learning Ally is a lifesaver for this student. He is able to listen to the novel they are reading in English class and adjust the font size and colors so he can follow along visually.
Learning Ally gives him excellent visual and auditory access despite his visual impairment and ESL status.”
–Kateri Gullifor, VI Educator
