[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 589197, member: 11791"] Paper was difficult child's nemisis. From K on. So... I really feel for your poor guy. He still needs to learn to write... to the extent possible. Occupational Therapist (OT) therapy helps - we have to pay for ours privately, school won't do it. But... he should be writing on something like a whiteboard - attached to the wall - where the "paper" doesn't move, and all he has to control is the pen. And then... yes. He needs all sorts of accommodations. But... you'll need to get dxes and/or testing and/or IEP, to get them. Computers are expensive. Usually not introduced around here until grade 3... (I know, I know...) They need to remove all paper-based busy-work. ALL of it. Stupid crafts, matching - later, word-find. They need to separate "learning to write" from "marked written output"... as in, he should NEVER be marked on written output, he should be learning to write. All testing should be verbal, or with a scribe (a person who HE tells the answer to and THEY write). Go look up Developmental Coordination Disorder at [url]www.canchild.ca[/url] They have lots of other "writing problem" ideas. [/QUOTE]
