Type to Learn Software


Another great assistive technology tool is the Type to Learn Program. Type to Learn is a computer program used by students to develop their keyboarding skills. This program is very engaging and interactive for the students through the use of various games to learn where the keys are and which fingers they should use to tap them. This tool is also great for educates because is has diagnostic assessments, to see where students strengths and needs are, formative assessments, as well as summative keyboarding assessments. Accuracy, as well as speed are too things that are strengthened and stressed in this program.  Type to Learn is accessible for hearing-impaired students as well. Type to Learn is a fun way for students to practice their keyboarding skills, so they are able to use the computer to engage with the world around them. This is a great tool for all students not just students with disabilities!
