Back in high school, Tracy Scott felt surrounded by obstacles. Undiagnosed autism and dyslexia made organizing, writing and learning extremely difficult for her.
Now, through the use of Inspiration, Tracy said, “There are no barriers. I can do anything.” She’s not only earned two respective degrees in technology and psychology, but she’s also improved her home and social life, gaining the confidence to speak about autism and dyslexia as well as the assistive software available out there.
Inspiration is a visual thinking tool that helps people organize, structure and communicate ideas more effectively through:
- Color coding
- Symbols
- Outlines
- Presentations
By allowing her to break her ideas down into bullet points, outlines and visual diagrams, Inspiration helps Tracy write more concisely now than she ever has before. In addition to her school studies, she also finds herself using this software for home and work projects.
“The other thing I’ve used it for, outside of studying, is just generally arranging projects, she said. “For example, I was doing some work on the house, and I had to figure out what I needed to do first and how I was going to save the money and plan, so having a mind map of everything made it easier to plan the whole job. And then also just for planning my work, writing reports etc. I’ve found it a good way to be able to just get the ideas out, use the rapid-fire tool and keep typing and then without having anyone to bounce ideas off, I can kind of do it by myself using Inspiration.”
