Who is IDL?

The idea of IDL was first presented by educators working with the Starcross Educational Research Association in the middle of the 1980s. In 2012, SENCO leaders and the Big Lottery-funded "Lifting Barriers" programme collaborated to advance the development of IDL for use in educational settings.

IDL was introduced in 120 elementary and senior schools in the Northwest during a three-year period. The main aims of the study were to show that students with dyslexia or dyslexic-like issues might improve their spelling and reading skills as well as their self-confidence and self-esteem.

With only 26 hours of usage, the results showed an average improvement in reading and spelling age of 11 months.

What is IDL Numeracy?

A growing number of young people require additional support with their numeracy skills. IDL Numeracy is a maths software developed to help students with dyscalculia and those struggling with maths. It includes a fully graded course to support the National Curriculum for KS1 (Key Stage 1) maths and KS2 (Key Stage 2) maths.

With over 2710 lessons, IDL Numeracy ensures inclusivity by reducing the stress those with dyscalculia would ordinarily feel when faced with mathematical problems.

After a few hours using IDL Numeracy, learners will find a familiarity with the lessons, and because the lesson mechanics remain the same, they gain the confidence they need to tackle problems, even those they have never encountered before.

Our Numeracy software is used predominantly by learners with dyscalculia, although not limited to those with special educational needs. The software can also be used to support any learners who struggle with numeracy. It can also be used for teacher training and planning, as well as for school psychologists and educational specialists.
