[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 429092, member: 11791"] Interesting thing with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) (developmental coordination disorder) is that it can be more global (issues with all motor skills), OR it can hit JUST fine or JUST gross skills... Thus, we get the sports star who is kicked off the team because he's failing English - and he's failing English because he can't write! (Conversely, you can get the absolute klutz who somehow is a whiz at writing... somehow, these fare better in life in the long-term... society has come to accept that not everyone is athletic, but if you can't do the 3Rs, you must be really stupid). So... how was he... learning to tie shoes? doing buttons? knife-and-fork? scissors? If those ARE a problem, then part of his writing problems are likely motor-skills related (hands can't but brain could). If those are NOT a problem, then its more directly a Learning Disability (LD) - his hands could but his brain can't. (or you end up like us... with BOTH) We don't have to deal with seizures, so not sure how that plays into all of this - but it will definitely be a complicating factor! [/QUOTE]
