[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 212798, member: 2423"] It is my understanding that writing is the hardest academic task a child must undertake. It is the unusual child who actually likes to put pencil to paper. It could be ADHD, but it also could be some kind of learning disability. Has he undergone neuropsychological testing? Keyboarding really may be the way to go if you can find a way for your son to learn. Is there a fun computer game he could use to learn to type (Type to Learn, for example)? What if you had him write a sentence and then you write a sentence he dictates? That way he is actually writing down half the story. Have you thought about getting your son a pen pal that he could send letters to or email back and forth? Or how about a faraway family member he knows and likes? Good luck. [/QUOTE]
