[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 406243, member: 1991"] I don't think there's anything left for me to say. Except... whatever you do, he has a lot of obstinacy to unlearn. He has until now been focussing his brain power on how to avoid/minimise writing tasks. He needs to have his reason for avoidance removed, so he can focus his efforts entirely on completing the task. difficult child 3 used to mentally calculate how few pen strokes he could get away with, in any writing task. Once he was allowed to type (from age 6) he was able to write a lot more. We kept having to fight those battles, with idiots wanting to "wean him off" aids. And now every year we still have to fight for the right for him to do his exams on computer. The school isn't the problem here, it's the Board of Studies. Marg [/QUOTE]
