1. Active Therapy Foundation is a UK charity with aims of promoting social inclusion, providing innovative and dedicated coaching therapy programmes, making "Active therapy" available to all, thus developing skills and enabling individuals to participate more fully in society.

2. This screen is aimed primarily at those with a learning disability, to enable them to learn to recognise words which will help them develop independence skills in a wider environment.

3. With practise, improvement in speed of neurological processing, anxiety in coping with more words per page is reduced, giving the student more confidence to try new words.

4. This is a progressive learning tool, therefore the first 12 words will appear within the first 45 words and so on.

5. As stated earlier, we have purposely randomised the words to avoid rote learning.

6. Active therapy explores ways of developing higher achievement levels for people with disabilities.

7. This also gives the teacher/mentor an opportunity to teach the student the meaning of the words.

8. A pupil can struggle to read even though you are sure they know the word, purely because there are too many words in front of them.

9. However, due to this randomisation, words will occasionally appear consecutively, particularly in early stages.

10. However, unlike many early learning aids, this app is “age appropriate”, making it accessible to all and useful for those with additional learning needs.
