What is Read & Write?

Read & Write is a robust toolset best utilized on a Chromebook, or in a Chrome browser. It is the primary method to provide Word Prediction, Speech-to-text, and Text-to-speech accomodations.
Who is eligible for Read & Write?

Any student on an IEP or 504 can receive Read & Write from AT. Being evaluated for either of those documents does qualify the student for AT. Staff members can receive a free copy of Read & Write following this link: Free R&W for Teachers
Make sure to use your @dpsk12.net credential, not the .org.
Do I have to request Read & Write one license at a time?

No. You can request up to 10 licenses at a time using the "Just requesting Read & Write" portion of the AT Request form.
Where is your main office?

780 Grant St across from the Governor's Mansion. Street parking available, no reserve parking available. Sorry for the inconvience.
Are there other solutions for the same accommodations that Read & Write supports?

Good question! Yes, there are other supports available. The C-Pen and Clicker 7 are popular supports that overlap with Read & Write. You can learn more on their specific pages, or contact an AT staff member to help ensure the student receives the correct piece of AT for their needs.
