She had very little services by the time we withdrew from school (basically periodic monitoring by the OT going into the classroom). They'd already dropped her from an IEP that included direct PT and OT services. After H/S'g for 2 years, it's like starting all over with what to think of to ask the school for. That's going to be part of my 504 Plan wish list. If this works out, I'm going to try to get the school to buy a smaller keyboard for Nicole to use at school and I'm also going to get them to okay her using this method. I'd love to get feedback from anyone who has experience with this program or with another program. The smaller keyboard helps to prevent the dominant hand from having to reach as far. Basically it entails giving the non-dominant / injured hand limited keys to control while the non-injured hand does the majority of the typing. I think the concept of the program is great because it uses the QWERTY method so you can still do it on a regular keyboard. They also recommend using a smaller / child-sized keyboard.
I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with it. I looked into a one-handed typing program I found a website for and thought it looked pretty good. Nicole's typing is very slow, as I'm sure is the case for most kids this age anyway. Anyway, what brings me here today is computer concerns. Plus I'm way behind on major house repairs. This year is my last year of "fun" with Joshua before he's ready for Kindergarten. Nicole's entering 4th grade now and I'm ready to take a break and send her back to school for a year or two anyway. I've kept pretty busy homeschooling for the past 2 years. Sorry! Nicole's BPI has not been as predominant of an issue here. I can't say that I've held any kind of consistency in helping others with BPI questions. Hello to all the long-time friends I see are still here as well as all the newer names I don't recognize! I give some of you so much credit for your consistency with this. Disability and applying to benefits-Links.
