Adults who attend programs that use the SARAW talking computer program wrote the stories in this book. Some of the programs are adult literacy programs; some programs are at agencies that serve people with disabilities. There are SARAW programs across Canada, and these stories are from people from different locations across Canada. All of the stories in this book, except one, were written by adults with disabilities. One story was written by an “English as a Second Language” (ESL) learner.

3. Survey Report - Speech Assisted Reading and Writing (SARAW) (2005)
Literacy and Disabilities Study (LaDS)
Series: Literacy and Disabilities Study (LaDS)
Authors: Audrey Gardner
Collection: Research Materials
The Literacy and Disabilities Study (LaDS) project conducted a survey of literacy and other community programs in Canada that use the Speech Assisted Reading and Writing (SARAW) computer program with adults with disabilities.
The purpose of the survey was to learn about different delivery models and educational settings where adults with
disabilities use SARAW to help them develop and strengthen reading and writing skills.
The programs in this survey, that use SARAW, are mostly community-based adult
literacy programs. A few other programs provide support, outreach or residence for people with disabilities.
This report documents the methodology, findings and recommendations from the
SARAW survey, which consisted of face-to-face and phone interviews with learners, tutors, instructors and coordinators in programs that use SARAW. The report also
includes case studies of two programs.
