dEcode® and Learning Disabilities
dEcode® has been clinically tested on hundreds of learners and has
been proven to be an effective tool to help students of all ages to achieve
high degrees of competence in literacy and numeracy, especially where
other learning systems have failed.
In particular, dEcode® has been used to help students with learning

gifted.
