Students with reading disabilities routinely ameliorate their disability using print-to-speech reading systems.
Grader A: partial
Print-to-speech tools for students with reading disabilities were established and funded by 2009: Bookshare received US Department of Education grants from 2007 to give free accessible e-books to qualifying students, and Kurzweil 3000 served students with dyslexia. Use was real but not routine for most students with reading disabilities.
Test: At least 20% of students with reading disabilities using print-to-speech routinely: not shown; a federally funded service for this group existed from 2007, so the share is measurable (estimated above 5%) but below mainstream.
Grader B: partial
Text-to-speech readers (Kurzweil 3000 and similar) were used by many students with reading disabilities, but not routinely by most.
Test: Share test: >5% of students with reading disabilities, not majority by 2011.
