Keyboarding at Montcrest

 

Why the Need for Keyboarding Instruction?

The goal of this program is to provide a comfortable and receptive environment where children can acquire keyboarding skills. Many students with a learning disability have difficulties with fine-motor skills, visual-motor and visual-spatial tasks. Our leaders are trained to understand and guide children through the process with sensitivity to their individual needs. The courses will offer a “go at your own speed” opportunity for children to learn the essentials of keyboarding.

For children with a learning disability, being familiar and comfortable with a computer can aid with concentration, reduce the stresses of writing and assist the child in recognizing and identifying his/her own accomplishments.

Overall, our program will be an opportunity for individuals to learn keyboarding at their own pace and with the necessary supportive teaching.

How is the Program Delivered?

  • Teaches keyboarding while reinforcing spelling, grammar and composition.
  • Uses software that engages the student and reinforces continued practice.
  • Lessons, games, and exercises.
  • Easy to follow directions and systematic, clear feedback about performance.
  • Considering learning styles and accommodations to obtain successful skills.
  • Safe and nurturing environment.
  • Two trained instructors.

Who Is the Program Designed For?

Children ages 8-13 years old with learning disabilities and/ or AD(H)D who wish to improve their typing skills.
