My son has hemiparesis and probably also has speech problems in connection with this. Whether the reading difficulties are due to “dyslexia” or whether they are related to the unclear pronunciation or both could not be clarified. There may also be an “angle vision deficiency” (I’m not sure if this is the right term). Whatever the case, our experience with celeco is: We mainly used the recognise text and gaze jump functions. There was no specific schedule for the exercises – we practised whenever it was fun and for as long as it was fun. We also only did the exercises over a period of about 2 months. Immediately after this “practice phase” there was no improvement in reading. But at the beginning of the summer holidays, Bernhard actually started to read – i.e. he reads quietly and only occasionally needs help with individual words. I believe that the exercises with your software have trained word-picture recognition to such an extent that the reading speed has increased, making it easier to grasp the text. I have told integration teachers in particular (in Austria integration classes to support pupils with disabilities) about celeco, as I believe that the software should simply be tried out in a wide variety of cases.
