The Kurzweil 3000 Pioneer Award

Kurzweil Educational Systems honored the late Roger Rachow with our first ever Kurzweil 3000 Pioneer Award. This award was given to Roger Rachow for his efforts in helping struggling learners in Iowa.

National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) Award Programs

In 2003, Kurzweil Educational Systems began partnering with the National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD), a well-established and nationally-respected organization servicing the learning disabilities (LD) community, to offer three annual Kurzweil 3000 software awards for the LD community in conjunction with existing NCLD scholarships/awards. The first award is to a general education teacher who demonstrates excellence in teaching and a commitment to all students, including those with learning disabilities. The second award is given to a K-12 public school. The third award goes to three high school seniors with identified learning disabilities who are pursuing [4-year] undergraduate degrees.
