[QUOTE="tchr2, post: 150722, member: 5191"] I would also look into asking for an assistive technology referral to see if there are any computer programs to assist him with his writing. I am a special education teacher/consultant and just got done working with a student with similar needs. We looked at the program, Dragon Naturally Speaking 9, which is a voice recognition program that works with any easy child. It is fantastic! It may or may not be appropriate for him, but it is worth a try!!! It is relatively inexpensive for the district to purchase - finding it on Amazon for around 160 dollars. I have had experience too with a student many years ago that was very resistive to writing. If you look at the types of accommodations that can help level that playing field in the regular education classroom, I just don't see the need for going to a behavioral focus classroom because of the writing only. Good luck to you in your new school! [/QUOTE]
