[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly it doesn’t sound like you have much of a case. My DS gets to type due to poor fine motor skills and produces 2-3x as much typing. He is also going to take more time to learn to touch-type so he needs the extra practice. If the school did not see much of a difference in handwritten v typing, I’m not really seeing the point in expending energy on this. [/quote]

NP. As you pointed out, the child needs time to learn to type. It makes sense to start doing that NOW. Did your child produce 2-3x more before learning to type? Mine did not! He is severely dysgraphic and we were a low tech family so he didn't have experience. But writing by hand never worked for him and got increasingly worse, despite all of our best efforts.

I am sorry, OP. I used TTRS a few minutes a day with my son for YEARS. I highly recommend. It is a program for dyslexics (my son is not dyslexic) but it was  perfect.

Also, we pulled our son from FCPS and homeschooled. I don't think FCPS had any idea how to help him. [/quote]

Yes, my child instantly started producing more when he could type.
