I can’t say enough good things about Touch-Type Read and Spell (TTRS). My son is autistic, and spelling has always been one of his biggest challenges. We tried so many traditional methods — flashcards, worksheets, spelling lists — but nothing really stuck. He would get frustrated, lose confidence, and start believing he just “wasn’t good at spelling.” It was heartbreaking to see.Then we found TTRS, and everything changed. The combination of typing, reading, and hearing the words worked wonders for him. The multisensory approach helped him make connections between letters, sounds, and words in a way that finally made sense. The lessons are short and structured, which keeps him focused, and the program is calm and predictable — perfect for his sensory needs.What really stood out to me was how encouraging it is. Every little success is acknowledged, and that positive reinforcement built his confidence more than I ever expected. Now he actually wants to practice! His spelling has improved so much, but even more importantly, he believes in himself again.TTRS has truly been a lifesaver for us. It’s not flashy or overwhelming — it’s gentle, effective, and designed with real kids in mind. If your child is autistic or struggles with spelling and literacy, I can’t recommend this program enough. It’s made such a difference in our lives.
We enjoy TTRS. I run in to some small issues here and there like the grades not syncing to the teacher account. There have been other small things, but usually their customer service helps out. Some issues might just be on my end. I wish on the dashboard for the student, they had all current courses they are taking (including My Courses) to make it more one-click easily accessible, especially for younger children. From the dashboard you can click on the “play button” and go straight to the TTRS course, we’d like the same for all other current courses. There are several ways to get to their other current courses but none as easy as the main TTRS course on the dashboard.
This program is greatly helpful to my autistic, adhd, dyslexic, dysgraphic kiddo. He used to fight me on typing, but now doesn't because he says this makes more sense to him then the other typing things. I love the fact that it incorporates the sounds along with the typing, kiddo says it makes spelling easier because he can hear the sounds. Though, im pretty sure hes just memorizing how the words look as they sound out lol. To be fair his spelling has gotten better as well as reading also.The program has just been super helpful overall! Thanks so much!
