Welcome to the Accessible Resources Pilot Project

We are the Dolphin Inclusive Consortium. We are running an exciting pilot project on behalf of the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families). Our trials are providing pupils who find reading standard textbooks and other school materials difficult with electronic versions of the books so that they can read them in a way that suits their particular needs. You can find out more general information about the project using the links on this page.

A mini-trial has been successfully completed to test out the approach prior to the full trials.
