[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 522263, member: 11791"] Warning... Dragon takes aprox. 200 hours of work, to get it really, REALLY working. It was too much effort for difficult child, so he switched to predictive text, and the cycle of expansion, to help with writing. But the schools here do have good success with Dragon, if the other options don't work... kids this age value [I]independence[/I] so highly, that it can be a big motivator. He'll probably need to work on it over the summer - very diligently - if he's going to be able to make good use of it in the fall. He needs to do the training and practice in his "back of the room voice" - barely above a whisper. If he uses his "regular" voice, then Dragon won't recognize the whisper so well... and regular voice doesn't work in a regular classroom! [/QUOTE]
