When I was in school years ago as a dyslexic, the school suggested that I do typing, I had a typewriter at home provided by the local education authority.
I wish I had but back then (1970's) that was considered a "girls" class.
I had the same problem with practical workshops, the one on combustion engines was solely boys and I wasn't brave enough to go to the other side. Luckily the other option was astronomy, I don't feel I was badly put out.
I remember when I started college, a third of the class didn't even know touch typing, or even knew what the internet really was. The internet was some mythical creature to them. This was 2005.
My first grade daughter knows how to draw well but can't use a mouse. I'm encouraging her by giving some games. But it's not a natural thing these days.

At least 3 of my lecturers didn't want me using my laptop in class. One cited the, "You learn more writing with pen and paper" crap.
This didn't apply to me cos I hate my handwriting - thus don't want to read what I've handwritten. I actively colored my headlines, underlined, emphasized or even completely rewritten (in my own words) key areas on OneNote.
I also used my Nook simple touch ebook reader when reading for tests and exams for complete focus.

If you're using windows, get her the game LowPoly 3D Art Paint by Number. It's a fun coloring game, mouse only.
