Hi, I have worked with children and adults with dyslexia, dysgraphia etc., for over 25 years and I think it is time that we stopped concentrating so much on hand-writing. Before teachers all email me, I am not saying 'throw it out', I am simply saying if a student has such awful problems handwriting, then we should look at something else, Voice Recognition Software is brilliant and should be considered seriously by students of all ages. In the UK now, we have an 'Equality Act', which generally would mean if a student needed to use software then they should do so. We don't question whether a student, who is physically disabled, needs certain equipment and its time we stopped asking students' with learning difficulties.
