[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 535243, member: 1991"] These days there are other options including Dragonspeak. difficult child 3 uses that to do his writing tasks. He is a good typist, but finds that if he can dictate to his computer, it is easier for the flow of his thoughts. It is an option for you to consider for your son, to let him add to his computing skills and program his own Dragonspeak preferences so IN FUTURE he can read his notes into the computer. Of course, he would still need to check it over and do some editing, but it is good to expand on existing skills. What I've done with my kids - in times of extreme stress (yes, even after it's their own flamin' fault because they didn't organise themselves) I have stepped in and said, "Dictate it to me." They're not allowed to snarl at me or be rude, because I will just get up and leave. It's amazing how fast they can find their manners... I've also sat with my kids and got them to mind-map. Sometimes I will draw it, but they have to say what word they want, where and also how to connect it all together. Especially with a kid who has problems organising him/herself, a mind map can really help them see the forest for the trees after all. I also let the teacher know what help I have given. That way nobody is in the dark. It also helps the teacher know how much help, and what sort, was required. If the teacher doesn't know, then they think the kid can perform at that level any time.
