[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 200096, member: 1233"] Pooky, Can he type? Does he have an Alphasmart? an alphasmart is a very durable computer designed for school age children with problems like dysgraphia, etc... to carry from class to class. They can type notes, assignments, etc... and ALL work can be done on this. Except for work with the Occupational Therapist (OT) to improve the handwriting. Dysgraphia is a very valid learning disorder, just like dyslexia. he isn't just being "lazy" or unwilling. It is very hard to overcome. The SCHOOL should provide an alphasmart and teach him to use it. He is right about the age my son would have done beautifully with one, we had to fight for it later, and then wished he had had it since your child's age. I know that some parents just buy it rather than fight over getting the school district to buy it. I believe Stella Johnson may have, not sure. Anyway, good luck! [/QUOTE]
