The story behind IcanRead
As a parent of a dyslexic son I help him a lot by reading for him. He quickly gets tired from reading and he has trouble taking in the subject. But the truth is that I can’t be there for him all the time. Thats why I developed IcanRead. Whenever my son is struggling with a text, he can use the app. I feel proud to give him the same opportunities to learn as anyone else.Adam, founder of IcanRead
Now I’m excited to share this app with the world. I want as many families as possible to have this chance of leveling the playing field.
