[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 266348, member: 1514"] Shari...now that I realize how hard it is for him to write it has sparked a memory for me. My oldest had huge issues with writing...he still does. He was diagnosed with dysgraphia. He would have probably done a whole lot better with Occupational Therapist (OT) help and the use of the Alphasmart but back when he was in school I didnt have that knowledge. I wasnt as up on Special Education as I came to be by the time I entered the trenches with Cory. What we did with Billy was let him use a tape recorder to record lots of his assignments. Then I would scribe for him. He also used those really big fat pencils or big fat crayons because they were easier on his hands. I also used graph paper to line up his letters. If I didnt he wrote so tiny that it made his hand muscles really cramp up and you couldnt read his writing. Even now he writes so tiny you cant read it. To actually teach him letters and spelling..we wrote in sand and pudding and things like that on cookie trays. If we could have done computers...that would have been the thing. Now with the speech to text programs...wow...what progress! [/QUOTE]
