[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 513508, member: 8831"] maybe he would benefit from using graphic organizers (just google it--some look like flowcharts, some like outlines--you dont say how old he is, we like the "flowcharts" best) and from there, maybe he would benefit from using a dictation program (dragon dictate or the like) to take the written part away and allow him to get his ideas to flow freely. if thats too expensive, how about letting him orallly use a tape recorder for now--make it a game, and play it back, and then "guess" what should be changed (editted) or something along those lines. and i wouldnt just rule out that because his handwriting is good that he doesnt struggle--its conceivable that he exhausts himself [I]making[/I] it good. it would be worth having an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation if you can swing it....there are sometimes helpful tweaks they can offer that are easy to implement....pencil grips, posture activites, etc. (of course, only helpful if thats the issue--if it more of a memory related thing then probably not so much). just a few thoughts [/QUOTE]
