Finding a practitioner.
The quality of the partner matters more than the brand of the method. Here is how to read the people.
Questions worth asking
- What is your training and supervision background in this method?
- How do you think about fading support? What does that look like with your current students?
- How do you handle disagreements between what the typist writes and what others expect them to write?
- Can I observe a session? Can I talk to other families you work with?
Green flags
- Explicit teaching of motor skills, with progressions you can see and name.
- Comfort with you observing, recording, and asking hard questions.
- A clear philosophy of partner-fading and learner autonomy.
Red flags
- Reluctance to be observed.
- Practitioners who insist their own physical support is permanently necessary, with no fading plan.
- Big claims, fast outputs, no documented motor skill progression.
