[quote=Anonymous]If you are in MCPS, write a letter to the “team” (504 or IEP) and ask for them to seek the advise of HIAT - the high incidence assistive technology team.  I found them to be great. They were on our side when the IEP team wasn’t and offered us good (if now completely out of date) technology.  They also qualified DC for Bookshare.

IME, dysgraphia increasingly becomes a problem from 3rd grade on. By the end of Es or beginning of MS, ask for notetaking accommodations. You need a whole suite of thigs to use in various classes in various ways depending on the various sub-components of writing skill difficulty - copy of class notes, ability to take notes on an iPad w/ pencil on an app like Notability that records sound contemporaneously and plays back, ability to take pics of whiteboard and place where daily homework is written (BTw, my ADHD kid, after a half year of school still didn’t realize teacher wrote assignment in same place in classroom everyday) and/or use of laptop to take notes (not very useful unless good touchtype skills) [/quote]
