There had to be a better way. I had an idea: What if he could take a picture of his worksheet using an iPad and type his answers on the screen?
Steven is a fifth-grader who I met during my occupational therapy fieldwork several months ago. He was diagnosed withHis occupational therapist tried many things to help him improve his penmanship, but nothing worked. The determined OT even scanned his worksheets into a computer so he could type in answers to questions, but it was too time consuming and she stopped doing it.
There had to be a better way to help Steven keep up. I had an idea: What if he could take a picture of his worksheet using an iPad and type his answers on the screen? I searched the app store, but there was nothing out there that did that. There were a few apps, but they were designed for business people and were too complex for a child to use.I sketched out my idea on a napkin and shared it with Steven’s OT. She loved it.
Another side benefit of using SnapType is that a student’s worksheets are safely stored in one place — on his or her iPad. This prevents kids with ADHD or LD from losing or misplacing them, as they sometimes do. . I hope to help many kids with writing challenges by encouraging OTs, teachers, and parents to use it.
