[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS did years of OT. He is 17y and his handwriting is still illegible. He has a diagnosis of dysgraphia (which can encompass handwriting and writing skills.) He has a 504 that allows him to use a keyboard for all assignments.

The problem with slowing down/being more purposeful at this point, is that it is hard to do that and take notes in high school. [/quote]

NP here with similar experience.  My son is 16 also a lefty and the handwriting on tests and in-class essays is barely legible.  We did the "Handwriting Without Tears" program when he was younger in the summers.  Finally we gave up when our pediatric psych said if it hadn't worked by now it wasnt going to and just get an exception to allow for a keyboard.  He was in a Catholic school in elementary which taught handwriting and cursive.  Cursive was slightly better for him but he has forgotten it by now and everything else he learned.  One problem with these courses is that if you do not regularly write by hand, you lose what you learned.[/quote]
