Writer for Special Needs
Many of our “Special Needs” students struggle in school because they struggle with writing. Often it’s a struggle with a pen or pencil. Fine motor skills are lacking – and writing is illegible. Spelling skills too are often poor, causing students to hesitate and stumble over the writing of each letter and each word. So much energy goes toward letter formation and spelling, little is left for written expression and conveying thoughts.
These special needs students have lots to say. There is no need for them to struggle with a pencil…no need for them to struggle over the spelling of each word.
The New Writer is small, lightweight, durable and very easy to use. It is filled with excellent support features. The Word Prediction Program has been refined and improved. At $169 (or less), the Writer is an incredible value.

She does so much better on all her work when given the chance to keyboard on her Writer rather than the painful process for her to write by hand.
