What can I do to help my child benefit from TypeWell?
You can show your support for the student’s use of the system, especially the class notes. You can help your son or daughter to use the notes in ways that foster good learning. Your local facilitator can be a resource for you in strategies to accomplish this. You can be in touch with the local facilitator about issues related to the communication access or the notes. A collaborative team approach is the most productive support strategy to develop. Students do not automatically know how to use the computer display during class to follow the lecture and discussion. Likewise, students often need to learn how to use notes as effective learning tools. They are helped to learn strategies for doing these things by the local facilitator and/or one of their support teachers. Parents can support these good learning strategies, in conjunction with the local facilitator.
