Hi, my name is Carole
Bennett and my husband Tony and I are the directors of Real Special Ltd.
Real Special is an internet-based company that was formed in 2004.
Our company
offers a specialised range of
products for those
needing support with; dyslexia, dyspraxia,
dyscalculia, autism,
memory problems,
spelling and reading difficulties,
sensory impairment, and
more.
The range is predominately
software and is
for use in homes,
schools and other
educational
establishments.
I have extensive
experience in working as
a teacher in mainstream,
in special needs
settings, and as a
teacher of the Deaf both
in New Zealand and the
UK. As a family, we moved to New Zealand in 2001, and became proud New Zealand citizens in 2005.
My
role is to be in charge of sales and customer
service. Products
on our website are ones
I can personally
recommend, and as we are not linked to any
one supplier, offer
impartial advice.
I
write a free monthly
email newsletter with
special offers, useful
websites, easy recipes,
etc. Edith the poodle is
the Real Special mascot and she 'writes' her own page in the newsletter too!

We are based in
beautiful Nelson, but
distribute products all
over New Zealand and
abroad so please don't

Testimonials - What
are our customers
saying?
"Many
thanks, and keep up
the great work"

"I
bought a fairly
expensive programme
(Lexion) for my
homeschooled
children and paid
for it. The lovely
ladies at Real
Special then came
back to me to let me
know that the
distributors had
reduced their prices
AFTER I had paid for
it, and that they
were going to try to
obtain a refund for
the difference!
They did all this on
their own volition
and indeed I did get
a refund of $100!
Talk about going
above and beyond for
their customers!
Thanks
again"

"Hello,
I would like to
thank you for the
fact that you
replied to my order
for a Vibralert
telling me of the
delay in supply.I
have fitted the
device and the lady
is most appreciative
as she cannot even
hear a normal
smoke-alarm with her
hearing aid turned
full up, she just
doesn't hear that
frequency. It would
be good if someone
could build a much
lower toned
detector.
Kindest Regards"

"I
enjoy working with
Tony and Carole,
they respond to my
requests quickly and
are always seeking
ways to improve
their service to our
client group. It is
great to have a
truly local
supplier."
