Abstract: A system for educating learning disabled students includes a work station accessible by students and teachers for converting information between paper-written and computer character-recognized formats, whereby a teacher or a student can convert paper-written information such as assignments into a computer character-recognized format. The system further includes a plurality of student setups, each of which permit the exchange of computer character-recognized information with the work station. Each student setup presents computer character-recognized information to a student both audibly and visually in a synchronized manner to permit the student to acquire knowledge, understand assignments and produce work products in a computer character-recognized format that can be converted to a paper-written format at the work station for submission to the teacher. A student support network provides the student with supplemental information and guidance as needed to obtain a quality education.
