Touch Typing & Technology
for Academic Success
This unique remote training initiative teaches all the vital skills required to set dyslexic learners up for academic success.
It introduces students to technology to aid learning and teaches the touch-typing skills necessary to access them, plus it helps parents support learners at home.
Caroline Bateman designed this course after helping many students achieve more academically using technology and proven learning strategies.
There is a vast range of technology available to aid learning and improve grades. Most importantly, these tools give students self-confidence, something that dyslexic learners often lack.

Parents
Parents (of less mature students) are required to attend a webinar on the 9th to ensure everything is set up to work when the course starts.
We are limited in how much we can help with setup issues once the course has started.
All other Parent webinars are recorded to be watched at your convenience.
Students
Students must be available for the majority of the supervised course as this is when we build muscle memory and intrinsic motivation.

The distance learning section is far more flexible.
Over this period students improve speed & accuracy while learning how to use technology to write essays and take notes
It is not vital that students attend all the catch up webinar but those that attend them all tend to make the most progress.
