[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 497705, member: 11791"] Remind me. Has he ever been evaluated by Occupational Therapist (OT) for motor skills and sensory issues? If not... consider it. The whole "problems with writing" thing... is OFTEN caused by either Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), or dysgraphia. And... while the accommodations are the same, it is easier to prove motor skills... the Occupational Therapist (OT) report says he needs... technology and/or scribe and/or blah blah blah, and... you at least have some leg to stand on. Schools here will NOT accept "dysgraphia" as a label... at least not easliy. This spills over into math... word problems, graphing, etc. It isn't the concepts - its just that it takes too much brain power to DO the work, so not enough left to THINK about the work. In the mean time... see of the school can re-test with [I]oral exams[/I] and/or with [I]scribed exams[/I] and see if the results are different. If he "can't write", they [I]must accommodate.[/I] [/QUOTE]
