Case Study: Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools reduces learning barriers with Texthelp Read&Write

Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools supports 7,000 students with Texthelp Read&Write

The Diocese of Lismore Catholic Schools, serving 18,000 students across 45 schools, sought a system-wide approach to reduce learning barriers and provide equitable curriculum access for a diverse student population, including the 18% receiving learning adjustments. They partnered with Texthelp to implement its Read&Write software as a key tool to support this initiative.

Texthelp's Read&Write provided a universal, cross-platform assistive technology toolset that empowered students to access the curriculum on equal terms with their peers. The solution achieved significant measurable impact, with over 7,000 students actively using the tool, 1.9 million toolbar uses recorded in a single year, and 39% of the total student population engaging with it. Texthelp's tool supported blended learning and was successfully rolled out across the diocese with training from Inclusion Officers, leading to growing, sustainable usage.
