[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That was clearly not nice, but devil's advocate- do you know the intention? I have one NT and one SN and just last week, the NT kids came home laughing because his math teacher told him that he was clearly destined to be a doctor because his handwriting is so illegible. It is. He does not have OT, though I'm sure he could use it, just really poor handwriting. The teacher said it in front of the whole class and he could have taken it meanly, but he thought it was funny and came home bragging about his horrible handwriting. I'm not saying this in a way to excuse the teacher, but it might be a way to turn the events around in your child's mind.

There is a far cry between "you could be a doctor!" And "did you write this with your feet?"

ND people are much more likely to have hypermobility in specific areas of their bodies including their fingers. This is not a muscle weakness but rather a weakness of the fascia which can not be strengthened with more use. Intact more use leads to cramping an injury-- I'm talking to you, specifically,  the poster above who said "what are you doing about it at home?" 
Bullying a student who can't write is as bad as bullying a student with Cerebral palsy because they can't walk.

Just because you can't see the disability doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

There doesn't need to be special training to be a decent human being. [/quote]
