Instructions for using this technique:
I am a computer programmer and a father with three kids who have ADHD. If you know anything about these kids, you know that they will not touch a pencil and paper to do homework, but put them in front of a computer and you stand a good chance. I have just finished a Beta version of Genie Spelling Tutor. I am after some qualified feedback about the product before it goes into production.
