As you peruse the room you will also find two Apple Macintosh computers attached to their own laser printers. These four computers are utilized within the classroom for typing reports, making banners for your room, e-mailing family and friends and even your schools. There are no charges for your child to use the computers or to e-mail friends, family or school chums. The computers are also used for teaching typing through the use of programs such as, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, for our more advanced students and Mario Teaches Typing for our beginners.

Internet access is available under direct supervision by a parent or program staff member.
The computers are also available for you and your child to e-mail family and friends. While your child is hospitalized, you will have access to the classroom e-mail address to give to family, friends and school personnel. There is no charge to you or your child to use our computers and e-mail. Your child will be thrilled to receive mail as we are sure you will enjoy hearing from them while at home or at work. The Post Office is located in room 4372 which also serves as the classroom.
