[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 393481"] I can only tell you what we have done with my difficult child, who I REALLY believe has Asperger's but won't have a definite diagnosis until we see the new psychiatrist in January. I will list them exactly as they are written in his IEP and hope they help. [B]1. "difficult child" will be allowed to utilize assistive technology such as a portable word processor or voice recognition software such as DRAGON for all writing assignments of ten sentences or longer. Both will be provided by his Special Education case manager.[/B] [B]2."difficult child"s assignments, quizzes, and tests should be modified. Modifications should consist of less problems than his non-disabled peers focusing more on key concepts, and extended time to complete all without penalty.[/B] These are the two formal accomodations that seem the most relevent to your situation. difficult child also hates to write, he has sensory issues and we recently found out he has carpal tunnel so he is refusing to write at all because he doesn't know how much writing he can do before it starts hurting. For work at home, they allow me to "scribe" for difficult child. He tells me EXACTLY what to write and I write it. It even works for spelling words because I make him spell them for me and I write down EXACTLY how he says they're spelled, right or wrong. I found the DRAGON computer program at WalMart for $50. I am thinking about getting it for home. The modified assignemtns have been a godsend. He is learning the material but not having to "prove" it by so much repetitive work. His anxiety level has gone down significantly since they implemented these changes. Hope this helps give you some ideas. Good Luck and let me know how it goes. [/QUOTE]
