Reading time: 3 minutes

While Cliarly is used by everyone from lawyers to communications professionals, Cliarly is especially helpful for people with a disability. This includes individuals with dyslexia, who may be able to receive Cliarly through municipal funding.

Apply to Receive Cliarly Through Your Municipality

You can apply to get Cliarly as an assistive tool through your municipality for private use.

You can read more about how to apply on this page on borger.dk, or you can contact the municipality directly.

Your municipality can read more about Cliarly and view the price on the State’s Assistive Technology Base or on Cliarly.com. We recommend that you send your municipality a link to Cliarly on the State’s Assistive Technology Base, as some municipalities may not have heard of Cliarly. If there are issues, or if you or your municipality have questions about Cliarly, feel free to contact us at info@cliarly.com.

How to Write an Application

Go to this page on borger.dk and select your municipality. Next, click “Continue” and log in with MitID. Now you just need to complete the application form, which begins with your information.

There are different application forms, but here you can read more about some of the most common topics:

Everyday Challenges (Udfordringer i hverdagen)

Here, you should describe the limitations you experience in daily life. It is important to focus on challenges you face privately, not those at work or school, as you would need to apply elsewhere for those.

For example:

I am dyslexic, and therefore have challenges with reading e-boks, borger.dk, and writing messages to public authorities.

Functional Ability (Funktionsevne)

Here, describe your disability. For example:

I am dyslexic.

If you are dyslexic, you should answer “yes” to whether your disability is permanent, as dyslexia is not curable. Next, you can attach a dyslexia test that shows you are dyslexic.

You can find your dyslexia test on ordblindetest.dk. Find the test under “Results” and select “Print.” Under “Destination,” you can save or “print” it as a PDF to attach to the application.

Assistive Tool (Hjælpemiddel)

Here, select “Other.”

Assistive Tool Continued (Hjælpemiddel fortsat)

Here, describe that you would like to receive Cliarly. For example, you could write:

I am applying to receive the assistive tool Cliarly, which can help with reading text aloud and writing. I have had a trial period of Cliarly, and it helps me function in daily life. It can be found on the assistive device base here: https://hmi-basen.dk/r11x.asp?linkinfo=75689

Previous Grant (Tidligere bevilling)

Here, you should answer “no” if you have not previously received Cliarly through the municipality.

Additional Information (Supplerende oplysninger)

Depending on your disability, you may not need to complete this section.

If you are dyslexic, you could write:

Name:
ordblindetest.dk - Ministry of Children and Education

Address:
Frederiksholms Kanal 21 1220 Copenhagen K

Consent (Samtykke)

You can decide whether to give consent for the municipality to obtain additional information. We recommend answering “yes.”

Cliarly does not need your social security number, so you can answer “no” to the final point.

Confirm Information and Sign with MitID

Confirm your information and sign the application.

We typically hear back from the municipality the week after the application is submitted.
