[Trainer-Talk] accessible typing programs

[Greg Aikens]

I would second the TypeAbility suggestion. I know it requires JAWS but we switched to it from Talking Typing Teacher and have seen much better results. The lessons are far smaller and easier to repeat for fluency. There are also lessons that teach/reinforce basic text navigation and other important screen reader skills. I use it to preteach those skills before clients begin formal instruction using a computer.

If you are using JAWS you can use Typability. Another program I like is
Talking Typing Teacher.
