[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 533090, member: 805"] [FONT=comic sans ms][SIZE=3]I was able to scribe for my son until middle school. Anytime I scribed, I signed the bottom of the assignment as a nod to "he spoke, I wrote". The keyboard was a great transition when he got into middle school. He could organize he thoughts so much better on the computer. He would save and print out his "first draft" and then go back and make his changes and corrections and print that out and hand them in - rough draft and final. He didn't feel overwhelmed when he was just making changes on the computer. His IEP said that he could use the computer for any lengthy assignment. Lengthy is subjective. But to a kid who struggles with dysgraphia and/or adhd, 3 paragraphs is lengthy! If you have the time, sit down and have him read it to you, or you can read it to him, and then have him tell you in his own words what he got out of it or what was important. You act as scribe and then let him take it to school and then type it. I think a change to his IEP might be in order to add accoms or mods with writing assignments. Sharon[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
