My DC is also math oriented and has very severe dyslexia and dysgraphia.  One thing we did was use the summers to practice keyboarding - ~20 minutes each day.  I would do the tests to get him to the next level since he never was fast enough.  He improved a bit each year.  We also listened to a ton of books at his cognitive level (we mined the Newberry Award winners and runners up) - this helped him keep up his vocabulary, language, background knowledge, and increasingly complex plot and character developments.

He loved Minute Physics, Numberfile, Stand Up Maths - and things like that on YouTube [/quote]

Thank you for taking the time to write this!  Our children sound quite similar, and I think mine will enjoy several of the things you’ve mentioned. 
  Curious: what audio book app to you/your son prefer?  The two that the school provides access to do not have many award winners or even runner ups. 
Also, DC has recently been asking for books that have color coding (or some other type of guided reading markings).  Any recommendations for those? [/quote]
