Champion changemaking in Dunblane

Eden, a P7 pupil at Dunblane Primary School, has helped to improve ICT support for children with dyslexia and other literacy difficulties.

She has been an accessibility champion since P4 when she was asked by the support for learning teacher to show other pupils how to work accessibility features on their Chromebooks.

Since then, Eden has volunteered to continue her work as an Accessibility Champion and we now have a group of children from P4-7 who peer tutor others.

Eden has helped improve access to learning for dyslexic learners. Children are more confident using accessibility features such as speech-to-text and text-to-speech. They can change the background colour of documents to help them read off the screen more easily. Eden has also supported teachers and support staff at Dunblane Primary to understand how to use the accessibility features. ►
