Thanks to all of you for the replies on this subject. >It may well be the case that "unlearning" is very difficult for pupils with >dyslexia and that therefore this offers a good case for sticking with an >industry standard but - was there a clear indication that this query was >posted with a pupil with dyslexia in mind? > The query was actually concerning a keyboard for my son who's four years old and has moderate CP (though with relatively little upper limb involvement). He's just at the stage of starting to learn some letters and spell a few names. He can use a standard PC keyboard but the upper case legend and mass of inappropriate keys are a distraction - hence the original question. As to whether he's dyslexic, only time will tell but he appears to have some spatial difficulties which is another reason for keeping things visually simple. Thanks again.
