[QUOTE="jannie, post: 252342, member: 2074"] When you say artistic do you mean creative with ideas or do you mean he's really good with drawing, painting and designing etc? If indeed he is good with drawing and fine motor (and you mention that the school says he doesn't need Occupational Therapist (OT)), the handwriting issues you mention might truly be a result of a writing disability as opposed to a handwriting issue. I would strongly encourage the use of assistive technology using a word prediction type programs such as co-writer, writing cue, write/read outloud, inspiration etc.... It is also possible that the alpha smart your child is using is really outdated....the ones which allow several lines to show at once as well as the ones the have word prediction programs built in are so much better than the older versions. I also really like the FUSION...and I think if I were to purchase one for my child it would be the fusion. In regards to upto date alpha smarts....etc...I really doubt the school system is required to buy the most up to date. I know our school does NOT have them, but I'm just saying they are better....
