Hi Charles and all, this is very true. I remember a few years back reading about I believe it was the NFB using games in their learning centers to promote keyboard dexterity. I have tried employing a similar strategy where I work and some game developers have in fact been very generous and donated copies of games to be used for that purpose. If I could get the student to give the games a try it seemed to help.
