It provided information in an organized manner. It provided a nice approach to evaluating and incorporating keyboarding into a child's OT program. The handouts are very useful with useful information for skill breakdown, rubrics for goals and activities for specific age groups.

I didn't realize how many parallels there was to keyboarding. Thank you for outlining the different motor/physical activity demands of both forms of written communication. Good advice on collaborating with teachers, paras, and other educators on integrating keyboarding and showing us as the therapist how to grade it. Thanks for the cookie sheet idea, I've taken inspo from it.

I was really hoping for evidence-based teaching strategies/activities, developmental norms/reasonable expectations for speed/accuracy for different ages, etc. or just more detailed research findings overall given the title of this course. The course ended up focusing more on activity analysis and other OT theory basics that I am already familiar with, and the research findings portion I felt was just too brief and and didn’t go much beyond a consensus to teach keyboarding in upper elementary.

OTR/L, Teresa Vance has done such a fantastic job with teaching us the basics of literacy, comparing the skills needed for both keyboarding and handwriting. As a COTA is is so important to learn the evidence-based keyboarding and handwriting strategies and interventions. Keyboarding should be taught in a scaffolded and sequenced manner so students can build on the skills they have mastered.

I help adults to have good ergonomic skills with their electronic devices(college students to older adults) and with children in OT sessions via teletherapy with development of keyboarding skills and have seen the value of learning this skill ! The presenter provided validation of the importance of OT intervention in the multitude of areas we are addressing for each particular child including their handwriting and keyboard/device use posture and ergonomic set up as well!
