Re: computerdisc-l: Computer Discovery SPED students

[Christye VanHorn <cvanhorn@network-one.com>]

We have a girl in our school that only has one arm due to a car wreck.  I
have not taught her but she took Computer Applications last year.  I went
by
one day to watch her type - one handed!  She would turn her hand kind of
sideways and go to it.  If I remember correctly, the teacher told me she
was
typing around 50 to 60 cwam.
