To help dyslexic students reach their maximum potential, human speech options are now part of the "Keyboarding for Individual Achievement" - Dyslexic Edition.

Each typing lesson is read using real human speech. The combination of audio with visual guidance greatly enhances the dyslexic student's ability to acquire keyboarding skills.

In addition, each lesson incorporates the split-screen approach. This provides immediate reinforcement to students with reading disabilities because actions on the lower screen are monitored on the upper screen.

We understand that some individuals may not want programs by grade level.   Therefore, we have also included a Standard "Keyboarding for Individual Achievement" Dyslexic Edition that does not focus on any particular grade level.

Included in the program are one, three, and five minute speed tests that automatically time and grade the student, as well as a printed record of all exercises. Both are useful in maintaining an accurate record of the student's progress.

A complete set of lesson plans and instructional goals, which are individually designed for each student, enables you to fulfill and adhere to the mandates of your Individual Education Plan (IEP).

The Teachers' Edition allows you to select the grade level range appropriate for your students. This means that when the Level Button on the Main Menu displays 'Elementary,' all the typing lessons and speed tests will be on grade levels 1-6. If you use the High School level, all the typing lessons and speed tests will automatically be changed to grade levels 10-12.

An unlimited number of students may use the program, which means you can have more than one student set up at one computer station. A site license is available to allow installation to every computer at your location.
