There is software available to teachers to make worksheets on the
computer---or scanned in & adjusted--or it can be typed in and saved as
stationary- I do it for my kids all the time-as both do all their school
work on computer---Joy

>We took her to a neurologist (St. Louis Children's Cerebral Palsy Clinic- Dr.
>Jan Brunstrum, <[log in to unmask]> who has CP herself) and after 45
>minutes, got a diagnosis and some focus on what is important for Emily. Dr.
>Brunstrom (sp?) sees herself as an advocate for kids with CP in their
>educational and social lives.
>So, she wants the school to start using a lot more keyboarding and to get
>Emily involved in sports more (swim lessons and horseback riding isn't
>enough, I guess.) I feel really content to have found an advocate who right
>away can see all the potential behind my daughter's kind of floppy outward
>appearance. I also feel a bit overwhelmed, because now I need to translate
>this doctor's suggestions into reality and convince all the people in school
>that Emily needs to be using the keyboard and how that is implemented in this
>day and age of worksheets. (She does have a little desk top word processor-so
>the school is not totally clueless.)
