[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429105, member: 11791"] Not counting the other diagnosis'es... the motor skills issues alone are enough for school to drive him around the bend. Between learning to write, and writing to learn, and teensy-weensie "manipulatives" for math, and craft project after craft project... School places a huge premium on providing plenty of opportunity for students to learn fine motor skills. The problem is... they have become so ingrained in this that they have NO idea what to do with the kids who can't do these things! It does get better... but not fast enough. We were still fighting that one right through last year. Now, in high school, the volume of all that fine motor stuff is way down (no time-filler projects!), teachers are open to alternatives (yes, you can use the "paint" program and MS Project, instead of drawing on paper...), and the kid has matured enough that his motor skills can handle a little bit of this stuff! I'm still thinking... [/QUOTE]
