Designed by a dyslexic for dyslexics, using out-of-the-box thinking.
““Teaching my children to touch type was the single most beneficial skill they learned. It enabled them to access a wealth of helpful solutions that improved the grades they achieved throughout the year, increasing their confidence and self esteem. It has also had a significant positive impact on their exam results.”
“Touch typing has been so vital for me during my exams, without my laptop privilege and typing speed I don’t know how I would have achieved the grades I did.”
