Welcome to IT Your Way
Kingston based IT Your Way is an Assistive Technology company - founded by Seamus Cuddihy, a qualified Teacher and certified Trainer - offering alternative solutions to computer use problems that cannot be addressed by standard computer equipment.
IT Your Way offers advice, assessments and training. We specialise in speech recognition software and workstation ergonomics, and help computer users in the workplace adapt their computer equipment to maximise access.
We provide face-to-face computer assessments and training that can help overcome limitations such as dyslexia, Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) and other upper limb disorders, visual impairment and severe physical disability like Motor Neurone Disease (MND), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), etc.
Clients include blue chip companies, Government departments, Health Services, Local Education Authorities, schools, colleges and universities and private individuals. Based in Kingston upon Thames, IT Your Way provides services throughout Kingston, London and the South East of England, as well as further afield.

FAQs
Q: How can I increase my speed of inputting information without learning to touch type?
A: Speech recognition technology allows the user to dictate text directly into the computer three times faster than the average touch typist. The software always spells the words correctly which is great news for people with dyslexia. In fact, the whole computer can be controlled hands-free by the power of speech.
IT Your Way is a Nuance-certified trainer and reseller of Dragon NaturallySpeaking - the world's most popular and best-selling speech recognition software suited to both personal and business use. Please take advantage of the offer of our FREE Telephone Consultation (see below for contact details).
Q: I have dyslexia and experience reading and writing difficulties, which hampers my education or career. What help is available?
A: Many software solutions exist that can make a huge difference and are specifically designed for people with dyslexia. IT Your Way can provide advice, information, assessments and training. See below for contact details about our FREE Telephone Consultation.
Q: I have been diagnosed with a medical condition that makes using a standard mouse and keyboard difficult or impossible. What can be done, so that I can carry on using my computer?
A: Excellent alternative/adaptive solutions are available these days to suit each individual situation. IT Your Way has helped hundreds of people achieve their best potential by matching technology solutions to individual needs. See below for contact details about our FREE Telephone Consultation.
Q: I get aches/pain in my hand/arm/neck/back after working on the computer for a while. Can anything be done to help me work more comfortably?
A: A variety of ergonomically designed keyboards, mice and other equipment provide options to make a computer user more comfortable and aid recovery from an injury and/or reduce the risk of injury when using the computer. Advice about best posture and best positioning of equipment is also hugely important. See below for contact details about our FREE Telephone Consultation.
SPECIAL NOTE:
If you ignore aches and pains when using a computer, you are at risk of developing a Work Related Upper Limb Disorder (WRULD) or Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI). It is immensely important to seek advice and help sooner rather than later. Do not disregard your body's warning mechanism!! Remember, prevention is much better than cure.
