Our Vision

Education is the foundation for all democratic societies, and ILT Education, with our vision that all students should have access to equal education, is here to make sure it happens.

Founded in 1992 by a family with visually impaired children, we have since inception been focused on supporting those students who need a bit of extra care! The necessity to support students with special needs is growing in most countries. We are following that trend to constantly increase our contribution to educational systems around the world.

What Do We Do?

ILT’s products range from kindergarten to adult education. We focus on building literacy skills from an early age, supporting both children’s home language and the majority language in their schooling systems. Our products also provide assistance to those whose reading skills are lagging behind and need support to keep up with their schooling.

As children get older and the curriculum becomes more demanding, the lowest performing children often find the challenges overwhelming and the steps they need to take too high.

Textbooks and other learning materials are designed to fit the broad majority, near the median, and increase in difficulty at the same pace. That makes sense, since that is where most children are.

However, for the children with challenges these materials often require too much of the pre-existing knowledge, skills, or language to be usable. Instead of helpful stepping stones in their learning process, such material can become an insurmountable wall.

ILT Education is built on the firm belief that all children can develop, and are prepared to put in the effort, as long as the challenges are reasonable and proportionate to their capabilities at each stage of the learning process.

By providing children with smaller, intermediate steps on the way, we know that they can reach higher levels, develop at a higher pace, and grow their self-confidence as they do so. Teachers carefully choose how much support each student is offered at each point in time, and when it is time to increase the challenge to the next level. We provide the tools for the teacher to do so!

Our Markets

ILT was founded in Sweden but currently operates in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, Germany, France and the UK.

With our experience from Sweden we take the best parts of the Swedish education system and bring it to new markets. We often combine that with local products from local companies that we can partner with in one way or another.

Our company history

Since 1990, ILT Education has been committed to making learning materials accessible to everyone. Today we offer a wide range of smart tools suitable from nursery to school.

1990

Since we started in 1990, our goal has been to reach more students with learning materials. Initially, our focus was on reading learning materials for students with reading/spelling difficulties and dyslexia. We started our journey with cassettes and CDs.

2008

In 2008, the subscription form was introduced to allow schools and municipalities to offer “Inlästa Läromedel” (read-in teaching material) to all students.

2012

Jakob Skogholm becomes CEO.

2013

Our app with read-in learning materials is published in the autumn. Students can now learn while listening - whenever and wherever they want. This meant that bulky cassettes, CDs and Daisy players were a thing of the past.

2015

The need for inclusive education for newly immigrated students and students with a different native language has grown. In 2015, support for the mother tongue in schools was launched in Sweden. With this learning aid, students and teachers have much greater flexibility in their lessons.

2016

We reached the magical limit of one million users! The company name is changed to ILT Education and we expanded our range with the products “Lexplore” and “Viljas Digitala Bokhyla” in Sweden.

2017

At the end of 2017, over 95% of municipalities in Sweden were now using the service with imported learning materials and 234 municipalities used native language support. We are constantly developing our products – learning should be fun! We also launched the digital picture book service Polylino for nurseries in Sweden.

2018

ILT Education have expanded beyond the Swedish borders: Services are now availablein the neighboring country Finland.

2019

The expansion continues: Polylino is launched in Germany and Norway.

2021

“Polylino” is now available in Austria, Switzerland and Great Britain.

2022

“Giglets” from the UK joins the ILT Education family of products.

2023
