Step 1: Enable Accessibility Features
Visit your computer's Apple menu → System Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → Keyboard Settings.
Key Repeat (adjust the speed for comfort).
Slow Keys (adds a slight delay before a keypress is accepted — great for learners who press keys unintentionally).
Go back to Accessibility → Audio, then enable Play stereo audio as mono (if needed for auditory processing).
Step 2: Configure Keyboard Settings for Typing Practice
Go to System Settings → Accessibility → Keyboard → Keyboard Settings.
Set Key Repeat to Fast.
Set Delay Until Repeat to Short for responsive typing.
Turn off auto-correct spelling to avoid interference with typing accuracy tasks. To do this, go to Keyboard → Text Input → Edit (under Input Sources), then turn off Correct spelling automatically.
Step 3: Enable Full Screen Mode in Safari
Open Safari → Press Control + Command + F to enter Full Screen
To exit, press Esc (or Control + Command + F)
Step 4: Adjust Sound and Display Preferences
In System Settings → Sound, set the volume to a consistent, moderate level.
Under Display, reduce motion or enable Night Shift to minimize strain.
Step 5: Save the Configuration
If multiple students share the Mac:
Create separate user profiles for each learner.
Each profile can retain individual keyboard and accessibility settings.
