In school, yes.
Before laptops in every classroom was a thing, I was struggling heavily with hand written assignments.
I'm dysgraphic. Where dyslexia fucks with input to the brain, dysgraphia fucks with output. Hand writing is the most noticed, but affects typing and speech too. Hitting backspace to fix a word is a lot less consuming than trying to fix mistakes in pen.
So I got approval to use a laptop. Thankfully my family had the means to provide one.
Wouldn't you know it, my grades improved dramatically when the teachers could actually read what I had written.
