My 4th grade son came to KEYTIME® looking for a solution to a writing disability. He had become despondent about his studies due to his struggle to write. KEYTIME® offered a practical, well planned method for teaching a child to keyboard. Most importantly, the teacher provided all the enthusiasm, interest and encouragement children need to succeed. He is keyboarding his work in school now and is recognized by his classmates and teacher as a skilled typist. KEYTIME® provided my son the skills to overcome his disability and the inspiration to succeed! Thank you.
