She definitely does have more than typical LD issues but vision's ok. I'm not sure that the overlays would help that much for the fine motor weaknesses/motor planning. Richard, thanks.

They're built for people with more than typical LD issues. However, if letter recognition is difficult and she can't see all that well, then these keyboards might have something to offer. These keyboards are generally used with overlays and special computer software that comes with them. I’ve avoid them unless she’s quite disabled.

Great mind but one of her struggles is with fine motor, resulting in letter formation struggles. We're starting a two pronged approach: working on her fine motor development (OT, handwriting, etc) but also wanting to get her using a keyboard. She's a first grader. Rich or anyone else; any opinions/experience with the Intellikey type customizable keyboards? I’m working with a little girl who has some real output weaknesses.
