Using a computer in class can change the schooling of a child with dysorthography. It allows them to write faster, more legibly, with the help of a spell-checker. But it does not improvise itself: it must be requested, learned and well organised. Here are all the steps to make it work. A powerful tool, which requires preparation.
For a child with dysorthography, the computer offers many advantages. The spell checker spots a large part of the errors, correction is easy, and the text remains legible. Their writing becomes more legible.
It also allows the use of other tools: word prediction, voice dictation, text-to-speech. Together, they make writing much more accessible. These tools complement each other.
The child can focus on their ideas and knowledge, rather than on the spelling of each word. They can finally show what they know. See the spell checker.
The computer in class is especially relevant from the end of primary school and in middle school, when the amount of writing increases. Before that, handwriting remains an important skill to learn. The timing must be well chosen.
The child must first be able to type on a keyboard with a certain speed. Otherwise, the computer slows them down instead of helping them. Typing is essential.
The ideal moment is decided with the speech therapist and, if needed, an occupational therapist. Their opinion is valuable. See keyboard or handwriting.
To use a computer in class, the accommodation must be provided for in the PAP or the PPS. Without this, the teacher is not obliged to accept it. The accommodation must be official.
As part of a PPS, the MDPH may grant suitable teaching equipment, and the computer may be lent to the pupil by the Éducation nationale. This loan is a valuable help.
As part of a PAP, the computer is generally provided by the family. Find out about the available aid. See PAP or PPS.

Before using the computer in class, the pupil must practise at home: typing quickly, using the spell checker, organising their files, printing or sending their work. Practice is essential.
Choose a lightweight computer with good battery life. Install the useful software and check that it works without an internet connection. The choice of equipment matters.
An occupational therapist can support this set-up, in particular to choose the software and train the pupil. This support is valuable.
In class, the computer raises practical questions: where to store it, how to recharge it, how to retrieve documents from teachers, how to hand in homework. These questions are easily resolved.
A dialogue with the teaching team at the start of the year helps settle these questions. Teachers can, for example, provide their documents in digital form. Digital makes everything easier.
The pupil must also learn to handle other people’s looks, which can be difficult in adolescence. This gaze can be hard to bear.
For exams, the use of a computer must be the subject of a specific accommodation request. It is generally provided by the exam centre, with the spell checker disabled. A specific request is necessary.
The pupil must therefore also practise without the spell checker, so as not to be thrown off on the day of the exam. Practice without the spell checker is important.
See the brevet and the bac. Plan ahead.
Some pupils refuse to use a computer in class, for fear of being different. This is a common reaction, especially in middle school. This reaction is common.
Listen to their fears, and look for solutions together. An explanation from the teacher to the class can help normalise the situation. The explanation helps a great deal.
Remind them that it is a tool, like glasses, which allows them to show what they know. It is a tool, not a difference. See dysorthography and self-esteem.
