OK i don't know how this may help you when i was a 18 month old kid i was partly stroke by lightning and did not speak until i was 5 and English was not my really first language was speaking Yiddish at the same time when i could talk again at about 5 years of age. i got no special help for a long time if i needed to spell something i just did it so i could understand it, i didn't care if some else could read it. i remember writing person like he did PRES OND AND I'M ALMOST 70 NOW MAYBE HE WAS LIKE ME AND THESE ARE HIS NOTES THERE NOT CODE AT ALL, BUT HOW HE SEES THEM sorry about the upper case i still do it LOL i had to use spell check or you would laugh at me so i was trying to read it like if i was a bad speller and i used to make my own kind of short hand just a try I'm sure I'm off base
