[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 85175, member: 805"] Martie, you are correct. difficult child is verbally fluent, it's putting down the thoughts along with the mechanics that he gets blocked with. I used to think he had a little dysgraphia, but I don't think that's the case. I really think it's a "written word" issue and also a little disorganized thinking. However that last piece is probably due to not enough experience or emphasis in the past. He had to write a report on Henry Ford for his tech class. I have found that a successful way for us to work this stuff out is to have him use the computer to do a google search on his topic and then pick the two articles he likes the most. Then he prints those 2 off. We read them together (he a paragraph and me the next and so on) and he highlights what he thinks is important. Then we sit at the computer and he rereads the highlights and puts them in his own words, or dictates what he thought was interesting or important. The process of him making a web or an outline and then starting to write a draft is just daunting. And, his spelling is so incredibly bad that he gets frustrated with it. Thanks for your input Martie and Sheila. I couldn't do this without your support and wisdom! Sharon [/QUOTE]
