Touch Typing for those with Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD, Dysgraphia, Working Memory difficulties, Processing difficulties and other Special Educational Needs (SEN).
Help your child overcome writing challenges, express their ideas with confidence, improve focus and reduce writing frustration by learning how to type without looking at the keyboard.
All courses are delivered by highly qualified Specialist Teachers,
Delia and Seth Gascoigne. Their combined experience amounts to a staggering 50 years of teaching children with dyslexia and SEND needs how to access learning by developing effective typing skills!
Unlike online courses, they are able to work one-to-one with each student helping them with instant physical adjustments for correct finger placement and real time posture correction. In-person courses also allow them to give daily feedback, face-to-face, to parents and students. They offer expert advice on next steps so that your child can continue on with their typing journey. As the course works on a rewards-based system this motivates students to continue their hardwork and promotes accountability.
