Educational Software Shows Astonishing Results With Special Needs Children

Keyboard Town PALS; LLC (KTP) has recently announced the release of its groundbreaking educational software, developed to teach children ages 7 to 12 to type on a computer keyboard in one hour. The KTP software uses successful association and memory techniques through stories told by fun and adorable live puppets. The process of learning keyboarding becomes both entertaining and rewarding. Several members of the talented production crew working with KTP were part of the Emmy-Award Winning teams behind Misters Rogers’ Neighborhood, as well as Warner Brothers’ Looney Tunes and Hanna Barbara cartoons.

The software has also shown significant results with children with special needs. KTP Video Director, Melissa Martin, adopted a young girl whose desperately addicted birth mother used Crack Cocaine throughout her entire pregnancy. As a result, Stacy had to experience withdrawal at birth and was left with several health problems. Now 11 years old, Stacy has severe Attention Deficit Disorder. Amazingly, Stacy has finished the entire KTP presentation. She now types on the keyboard, using the proper technique.
Currently, Keyboard Town PALS is the only company that offers teaching material for typing by using the Purposeful Associative Learning System (PALS), which serves as the key technique that allows the Keyboard Town PALS software to teach typing in one hour. The child is taught keyboarding in a stress-free and relaxed atmosphere. The company claims that no parent or educator will ever want to return to the mindless drills and endless exercises used by other programs.

KTP was founded by Rita Herman; C.E.O and professional educator, and Donna Katz; President and former private school administrator (2007). Mrs. Herman has over three decades of creative teaching experience with a concentration in reading. She is an expert in PALS.

Along with working as a private school administrator in Pittsburgh, Donna Katz also holds experience as a private consultant for non-profit organizations. Mrs. Katz has been the moving force for the production of the KTP software package and its distribution to elementary schools throughout the country.

The KTP educational software is available by download or by order purchase at www.OnlyAnHour.com and www.Amazon.com. For all media inquiries, contact Daniel Ferszt at Global Point Public Relations 866.594.GPPR (4777) or email dferszt@globalpointpr.com.
