Individualized Education Plan
•Software based IEP creation tools can help reduce the time it takes to set objectives and assign activities, and also allow educators to track the child’s progress more effectively.
Remediation
•Game/activity based remedial software can be tailored for different levels of learners and educational standards. They could provide personalized, self paced learning, with positive reinforcement and engagement.
Tracking & Reportage
•Software based assessments can be used to quickly identify problem areas and track the child’s progress individually as well as relative to class performance.
Assessment
Software based intervention helps in accurate detection, enable tracking of scores and facilitate measurement, evaluation and improvement.
