This was a great introductory course regarding Keyboarding. I actually took this course in order to help/advocate for my own child. I work in Early Intervention where this is not applicable. However, if I worked in the schools, I would want more in-depth knowledge before I would feel confident in encouraging the local school district to more explicitly teach keyboarding.

It was sequential and developmentally presented. I feel like this course supported the need for explicitly teaching keyboarding especially to kids with special needs. The idea of a team approach to keyboarding is so lacking in so many schools. I have seen collaborative keyboarding with daily practice work well with kids who are severely dyslexic and the materials provided make the case for looking again at making time to teach and support classroom and specialized OT keyboarding intervention

Lots of age level examples AND encouragement to look at keyboarding as a skill all children need and that we should be involved in helping students on IEPs who might have physical problems as barriers to progressing with this needed skill that is often required but not taught in schools.

I learned a lot about the different skills involved in handwriting vs writing, and the common skills. I wish more time was spent on specific intervention ideas and how school based OT's can work with students, teachers and parents to either advocate for the use of keyboarding skills or help create opportunities for students

It introduced me to new concepts in keyboarding (orthographic motor integration as a main one) that helped me to understand in more specific detail how one skill may be more difficult than another for students. It helped me understand that both skills still need to be taught since one will impact the other.

Way too much explanation, e.g. what “parallel learning” is, and what “writing from dictation” is. Do we really need explanations and definitions of what “grammar” and “letter recognition” are and a long list of basic skills? There were too many examples given that pertained to simple ideas, which were unnecessary and sometimes went off-topic. This presentation was geared for non-professionals. Why didn’t Teresa even bring the handouts up on the screen in discussion?

I appreciated the intervention ideas and was here for more! It was interesting to learn that typing, which seems so different from handwriting, can be a wonderful technology for those who really struggle to form letters correctly and frustrate around the idea of putting thoughts on paper. I am hopeful that I can use some of the strategies listed here to help to motivate some of our more "hesitant" writers and collaborate with our educators to get them to express themselves more freely.

Keyboarding is a part of everyone's lives these days and I think it's a very important skill to be taught to our therapy children and the information provided helps to identify all of the components necessary for a child to be able to utilize a keyboard successfully.
