Learning Ally

Massachusetts has funded a limited number of students with membership to Learning Ally, which provides human voiced access to books with some text support. Learning Ally services are limited to individuals with documented learning disabilities, vision impairment, or physical disabilities that impede the ability to process standard print. Seats are already filled, however, we have some seats available to use with students. Teachers will determine who needs access.
