[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 284741, member: 1991"] difficult child 3 can't write well if he has to do it long-hand, but he's been using a computer for years. That has meant that he just writes and writes, then after he's finished he goes back in and edits. Sometimes we've helped by showing him how to get related ideas together. Or we've shown hi how to do a mind map on the topic, he then composes from that. Once he's edited it for grammar and spelling he re-reads it and adds more if he felt he left anything out. Along the way we taught him how to use a thesaurus and other writing tools. Once he can stop worrying about his hands hurting, or the physical effort (which always had him mostly focussed on how to keep his word count to an absolute minimum) we get so much more out of him.
