[QUOTE="keista, post: 467420, member: 11965"] I had a bit of a struggle with this as well. I proved to the school that not only son's typed work was better, it was [B]exponentially[/B] better. I tied in the state assessment test, because just a few years before son reached 5th grade, the state included "standardized writing" tests (yeah, I know it's an oxymoron, but whatever) If he fails the ST it's not just bad for son, it's bad for the school too. (funny, they never even consider removing accomodations that make life better for the school via his testing results. They only try to remove accommodations that are strictly for him. Does he have an IEP? Make sure the "assisted technology" is in there, then it should not be a daily issue. As son got older, we had to turn things around. Encouraging him to write out some assignments, especially math. Worksheets that take one word answers get done so much faster by hand. [/QUOTE]
