Spell Aid assistive technology app within DSA.

The Spell Aid Dictionary App has been created to fully support the needs of students who qualify for the Disabled Students’ Allowance (DSA).

Spell Aid contains features that help to support the core study skills of students and undergraduates who face challenges in using dictionaries. Whether it is students who struggle with spelling the words they are looking for, or problems with the user interface of existing dictionaries.

Spell Aid’s powerful user-friendly features help students who may be reluctant users of dictionaries, develop a love for learning new words they can immediately use in their coursework and in daily speech. This increases confidence and the desire to learn as students develop and achieve mastery of the English Language.
