Executive Summary

ANALYST: COI RESEARCH

District-wide deployment of AI accessibility tools embedded in standard software (Word, OneNote) to decode text for students with dyslexia and dysgraphia without requiring stigma-inducing special hardware.

rate_review Analyst Verdict

"A triumph of 'inclusive design'. By baking accessibility into the core OS/Office suite, it removes the social stigma of 'special ed' tools. The AI's ability to break words into syllables and read aloud with neural voices fundamentally changes the classroom for neurodiverse kids."

warning The Challenge

Students with dyslexia often fell behind in reading comprehension, leading to low self-esteem and behavioral issues. Traditional solutions involved expensive specialized software or pulling the student out of class for 1:1 aide support, which was costly and stigmatizing.

psychology The Solution

Rolled out Microsoft Immersive Reader across all student devices. The tool uses Azure AI to customize the reading experience: increasing spacing, breaking words into syllables, highlighting parts of speech (nouns/verbs), and providing picture dictionaries. It also offers neural text-to-speech. Students can activate it discreetly on their own screens.
