Our Story

"When we realized that our child was struggling we were terrified..."

Here is the story of how we stumbled upon the need for a tactile touchscreen surface for learning. One of our children was diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, and auditory processing issues when he was 7. When we first realized that he was struggling, we were terrified. After the initial shock wore off, we immediately went into action looking for ways to help him catch-up with his classmates.  Unfortunately, the school system had a different tactic; instead, I was assured that we didn't need to focus on his current struggles until the 3rd grade. In other words...."Don't Disrupt Our System!" Wow, we couldn't allow our eager son to be treated with disregard and consequently lose years of important education because he absorbed and processed information differently. With a clear understanding of our public school's limitations, we immediately began independently educating our son through Orton Gillingham tactile learning and speech & language professionals.

It was through this specialized educational process that we were introduced to the importance of tactile learning. Of course, looking back, it's easy to identify the tactile environment of our preschools. However, we had never truly contemplated the benefits of sand, clay, and texture used for educating very young children. It was now beginning to make sense! Multi-sensory stimulation is a vital part of education this is why, with the help of our different learner, we created TacScreen . There is simply a need for the sense of tactile touch on touchscreen devices in order to increase the benefits of the learning apps already being used to supplement the educational needs of our children.

We are confident that you will agree with the fundamental solution that TacScreen provides for all children whether they have a learning disability or not.

Together we can integrate the benefits of tactile learning early on in the educational process, before a child is lost or discouraged based on the simple fact that they learn differently.

Thank you for the opportunity to share TacScreen!
