Is it really necessary to teach students who are VI to touch type?

Whatever your level of sight loss, learning your way around the keyboard and learning to touch type are important skills. At the most basic level these skills allow you to increase the speed at which you can prepare documents and input information into a computer. For many tasks, using a keyboard can often be faster than using a mouse.
