Here are some of the quotes about Lucid software that we have received.

Lucid CoPS

"At Heathcote School we have found CoPS to be extremely helpful in identifying the strengths and weaknesses of our lower school children, singling out those of unusual ability as easily as those with marked weakness in certain areas. CoPS picked up children with colour perception problems and gave us real insight into the abilities of children who have joined the school mid-term, before their records from previous schools caught up with them." (Heathcote is a small Independent Primary school in Danbury, Essex. It is entirely mixed-ability, non-selective and is regarded as having a good reputation in dealing with children with problems including dyslexia and ADD/ADHD).

- Shirley Charlton, Heathcote School, Danbury, Essex

"A major problem facing children, parents and schools is how to identify those children who have difficulty learning to read. CoPS is the only means we now have to identify these children in every school at ages 4 to 6."

- Professor Donald G Kubler, Furnam University, South Carolina, USA

"We have used CoPS for approximately a year now. CoPS has proved most valuable, and is appreciated for a variety of reasons. The print-out of information is brilliant, it is clear and informative and cuts down on something normally incredibly time consuming. The children actually enjoy it, it is viewed as a treat and totally non-threatening. It is possible to pick up potential problems before a busy class teacher even registers a pattern of difficulty, and structure a suitable support programme for use in class... All in all, excellent."

- Pat Guy, Northampton High School, Northampton

"We have been using CoPS to screen all Year 3 children in order to identify strengths and limitations of each child. We have found the system invaluable. It has helped us devise specific Individual Education Plans and teaching strategies."

- Greenwood School, Plumstead

LASS Secondary

"All of the pupils seemed to enjoy all of the tests and were very eager to have their turn! LASS provides more useful information than a pupils statement does, very easy to assess. Excellent tool for teachers, great graphics." White Spire School, Bletchey, Milton Keynes"LASS Secondary is used with pupils at first been chosen by me to complete the screening. Then it became a race to attract my attention and let me know that they had not had their go. These are special needs groups. One pupil in this group with very short concentration span and moderate learning difficulty was fully engaged for the hour - I suggested a break but "oh no Miss, I want to get this finished". It was probably the only thing this student had ever completed and with a smile on his face. Spelling tests will never be the same again and as for reading tests it is wonderful to be able to look at the errors as well as have such easily interpreted scores. I also tested two of the brightest students in year nine. They thought that it was great fun and were fully engaged."

- Judith Wolfe, SEN Teacher, South Shields

CoPS BASELINE

"CoPS Baseline represents a non-threatening, efficient and, for the children, an enjoyable means of making essential assessments. Assessments are informative and the immediate printout of results with recommended teaching targets is extremely time efficient".

- Berinsfield C.P School, Oxfordshire
