The handouts were excellent-thank you! It was a good course, I only rated it a 4 vs 5 because we didn't need to have the run down on the skills needed for keyboarding and handwriting to be reviewed in such detail. It was great to include that information, but time would have been spent on other topics. There was also one major thing that should have been included in some detail--when is keyboarding a skill that requires an OT to address. Loved the emphasis on collaboration with the schools!

This course has offered alternative ideas and strategies to further integrate keyboard on the level appropriate to the child's skill set/exposure/age. This will definitely be a welcomed tool in future treatment sessions in my practice.

I learned the importance of building in literacy when working on keyboarding skills. This course also reminded me to look closely at all areas related to OT (fine motor, visual perceptual, executive functioning, core) when working with students. The handouts will be extremely helpful, especially when working with staff and parents.

I didn't realize how many parallels there was to keyboarding. Thank you for outlining the different motor/physical activity demands of both forms of written communication. Good advice on collaborating with teachers, paras, and other educators on integrating keyboarding and showing us as the therapist how to grade it. Thanks for the cookie sheet idea, I've taken inspo from it.

I was really hoping for evidence-based teaching strategies/activities, developmental norms/reasonable expectations for speed/accuracy for different ages, etc. or just more detailed research findings overall given the title of this course. The course ended up focusing more on activity analysis and other OT theory basics that I am already familiar with, and the research findings portion I felt was just too brief and and didn’t go much beyond a consensus to teach keyboarding in upper elementary.

OTR/L, Teresa Vance has done such a fantastic job with teaching us the basics of literacy, comparing the skills needed for both keyboarding and handwriting. As a COTA is is so important to learn the evidence-based keyboarding and handwriting strategies and interventions. Keyboarding should be taught in a scaffolded and sequenced manner so students can build on the skills they have mastered.
