Keyboard Classroom

When we launched Keyboard Classroom nearly a year ago, it was after testing the product in a classroom environment for over a decade.  Parents of children with and without learning disabilities embraced it as a way to complement what their children were doing in school.  Now it appears, educators have caught the KC bug as well.

A three year old school in North Carolina recently created a new typing curriculum completely around Keyboard Classroom.  The school, built on a philosophy of inclusion, brings children with special needs, children with average abilities, and children who are academically gifted, together in a friendly and charitable environment.

One of the school’s teachers wrote to us.  ”I was drawn to your program because of its specialization for helping children with special needs, and was interested to learn about the Ben Bronz Academy.  Besides Autism, we also have children with ADD and serious handwriting difficulties.  There are other disabilities our children have, and we’d like to be able to accept them with any level of difficulty.  We understand that in developing their writing skills, they need the tools to conquer their physical limitations.”

The school purchased a 25-site license and has installed it on their computer network.  We look forward to hearing about some wonderful first semester results!

It’s been a while since my last post but forgive us as we are trying to keep with the dramatic growth since we launched in November.  Sales continue to double each month as parents and educators across the country receive word of Keyboard Classroom.  Our web site traffic has increased by an average of 3000% each month!  We’ve been especially warmed by the reception given to us by a number of private tutors who are using the software with their individual students.  Even more exciting for these educators is the realization that Keyboard Classroom is effective for children with and without learning disabilities.

To that end, we’ve received requests for multi-user licenses available via CD.  I’m happy to report that we are within weeks of launching that product and will let you all know when it is available. Check back soon.
