The '''Editing Special Education Unit''' was founded in 1993 by [[Pantelis Makris]], who served as it Head until 2001, when he was succeeded by [[Yiannis Laouris]]. In the early years, the UNIT focused on supporting and developing solutions for people who suffered mobility, learning or other disabilities. [[Pantelis Makris]] developed several systems to support special needs, and especially deaf and blind children. The Unit also developed curriculum units for autistic children attending [[CYBER KIDS]]. In 1994/95 the [[Dyslexia Group]] was launched based on voluntary contributions of a large number of experts and visiting scientists, whose research culminated in the development of [[Mental Attributes Profiling System]]. Its most prominent projects are [[Mental Attributes Profiling System]] and [[CARDIAC]]. | |||
