Warning: the Ginger Software web site is extremely slow to load, no doubt because of the product demo at the top. The product really does work quite well and it’s worth the wait for the site to load to experiment with it.
Thanks for the review. We are currently working on improving the loading time.
I just came to LDResources to tell you about Ginger. They’ve agreed to let us beta test it at The Norman Howard School. We’re using it for the next year and a half, and they are taking all the data from our population of students (Grades 5-12) with language-based learning disabilities in order to improve the program.
From what I’ve seen so far (I just spent last week’s Break installing it all over), it’s an amazing program–very flexible.
Hey Tim, nice to hear from you. Does this mean you’re a Windows user now or is there a Macintosh version of Ginger?
