Opening doors for my son

My 13 yr-old son has dysgraphia. For many years now, he has dictated his homeschool homework answers to me. We also work with dictation software for him to be able speak and create a document... After 6 months of using TTRS (about 3-4 days a week), he is now able to type! This will open so many doors for him. Thank you to TTRS!

What are the advantages of typing for children with dysgraphia?

They can...

  • Produce clear, legible text
    Typing takes care of letter formation and many of the superficial aspects of formatting that can frustrate individuals with dysgraphia and prevent them from expressing themselves in writing.
  • Access spelling and grammar tools
    Using a computer for writing enables immediate spelling and grammar checks, supporting dysgraphic learners in identifying errors and revising their work.
  • Strengthen literacy with phonics-based learning
    A phonics-based curriculum enhances decoding and spelling skills, offering a structured approach to literacy development.
  • Reduce anxiety and build stamina
    Regular typing practice lowers anxiety, builds stamina, and helps dysgraphic individuals gain confidence in their ability to put words on the page.
  • Boost self-esteem and confidence
    Positive feedback from typing activities can significantly improve self-esteem and motivation, especially for those with a history of educational challenges.

Testimonials and reviews

Hear first-hand from our incredible community of users

Yvette, Parent of a gifted child with dysgraphia

My son has dysgraphia which affects his ability to write things out by hand. He also struggles with sensory issues, which means he can easily get distracted. I wanted him to learn typing because I didn’t want to see his creativity and ideas being hindered in any way. In TTRS he’s having to type a word over and over again, and seeing and hearing it as he goes. This means he’s actually learning how to spell the word too, which is making it much easier for him to write in all other areas of his academics.

A recommended accommodation for my child's dysgraphia

This program is helping my child practice spelling words at the same time as she learns to type. It’s an accommodation for her dysgraphia and is boosting her confidence. We could't be happier with it!
