Celebrating Our Shortlisting at the nasen Awards 2025
We’re proud to share that WordQ was shortlisted for the Inclusive Technology of the Year award at the nasen Awards 2025. This recognition is a huge honour and reflects the impact our technology has on learners, educators, and families worldwide.
The Inclusive Technology category celebrates organisations using tech to break down barriers and create opportunities for children and young people with additional needs. Being shortlisted means our work is driving real change — improving accessibility, supporting literacy strategies, and empowering confidence in written communication across English and French-speaking communities.
As David Lester, Vice President of Sales at Nisai Quillsoft, said:
“Being shortlisted for the award is a tremendous honour for the entire team. It reflects not only our dedication but the real-world impact our technology has every day.”
