| DS (2nd-grade) is a fluent reader that loves reading and reads above-level in DIEBELs. However, he struggles with writing, especially getting his thoughts on paper (where to start with his many ideas), and often leaves classroom writing assignments completely blank. I am looking for an OT that specializes in dysgraphia and executive functioning. Does anyone have any good ones to recommend? Thanks. |

ot focuses more on motor skills , this sounds more cognitive? If it’s more the motor part about writing OTs are great at this from my experience.
We used skills on the hill - was great |

| I would look for a reading/writing tutor. OP are good on actual handwriting but not the thoughts. Otherwise an SLP. |

| Is the issue motor integration or fine motor skills? An OT will help fine motor skills but not motor integration. |

Todd Missura was great with my son for
both handwriting and executive function/organizational aspects of dysgraphia. He is an OT. https://www.writehererightnow.com/about.htm |
