Type with Confidence

Type with Confidence offers structured typing instruction that helps students develop accurate, fluent keyboarding skills using a systematic, multisensory approach based on the work of Diana Hanbury King.

Sessions are ongoing and tailored to each student, allowing for steady progress from foundational skills to true fluency. Instruction is offered in 1:1, semi-private (2 students), and small group (3 students) formats.

Especially helpful for students with learning differences—and valuable for any student looking to type more efficiently and confidently.

What Students Learn

• Accurate finger placement and efficient keyboard use

• Typing without looking at the keyboard

• Strong foundational habits that support automaticity

• Increased fluency through structured, cumulative practice

• Greater confidence and independence in written work

  
  

Our Approach

Unlike typical typing programs, our instruction is structured, sequential, and language-based.

Keys are introduced following the alphabet so students can build skills step by step. Students practice typing meaningful words using only the letters they have learned, reinforcing both typing and spelling patterns while reducing cognitive load.

Instruction is highly individualized, with ongoing observation, feedback, and support to ensure accurate technique and steady progress toward fluency.

This approach helps students build lasting typing habits that support efficient, confident written expression.
