The NDAF read
A five-year follow-up found that continued access depends on training, organizational support, strategy development, and the emotional experience of using the tools, not merely owning them.
Why it matters: This paper is included because it adds evidence relevant to long-term technology use and the real-life experiences discussed on the Dyslexia AF page.

What this could change in real life
A five-year follow-up found that continued access depends on training, organizational support, strategy development, and the emotional experience of using the tools, not merely owning them.
Useful translation: Treat the finding as one piece of evidence for designing more specific, individualized supports rather than as a rule every person should follow.
