The role of the therapist

As a therapist, your main focus is on addressing the problem and providing additional support. But you are also in a position to motivate children and young people and to support parents and schools.

It’s therefore important for therapists to learn about the full range of possibilities when it comes to support, such as educational games (Lezergame) and compensatory software (Alinea, Kurzweil 3000 and WoDy).

Since late 2017, the Flemish government been providing pupils in primary and secondary mainstream or special education with free reading software. Parents, teachers (care or IT), the pupil (if aged 16 or above) and you, the therapist, can submit a request for free reading software at leesvoor.vlaanderen.  Read all about the free reading software here.

We have an excellent offer for therapists and support workers: A free 1-year trial period for Alinea and Kurzweil 3000. This will give you ample time to learn how to use the software and you will be better able to assess how the software can be used at home, at school and at your practice.
