Nick Hanford, Manager of Educational Sales & Training

Nick Hanford received his education from the University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh with a degree in Economics.  From 2000 to 2003, Nick was a part of the Project Success initiative at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh; teaching classes of dyslexic students algebra and computing skills; coordinating special needs tests with professors and students; managing lab nights for any Project Success students who needed help; and training students in adaptive software such as Kurzweil 3000 and Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  He is currently enrolled in a Master’s of Business Administration program at UW Oshkosh.

Nick’s expertise in adaptive technology solutions began when he started using software for his own reading and writing impairment due to dyslexia, which was diagnosed in the third grade. It was determined that his comprehension was excellent but he couldn’t understand the printed word; a common problem for those individuals with dyslexia.

Since 2003, Nick has used his abilities to train clients in a variety of software including Microsoft’s suite of productivity applications, text-to-speech and speech-to-text software, as well as screen magnification and screen reading software.  Nick teaches groups of teachers and students in the use of adaptive technology in addition to giving motivational presentations on “Life with a Disability”.  His compassionate nature and sharp analytical problem solving abilities provide clients with excellent training and consultation services.
