[quote=Anonymous]The things that helped my DC were learning to type, word prediction software, and graphic organizers.  OT did nothing.  DC dictated quite a bit at school and at home until he was able to fully type.  It took until sophomore/junior year of high school for him to be able to type fast enough for him to record his thoughts. He tried dictation software but that didn’t work until recently - software has come along way.

As far as organizing thoughts, graphic organizers are free if you google and there seems to be several for every level and writing project.  Your DC can find the ones that work for them.

In ES, we did the typing practice in the summer. about twenty minutes each morning.  It was too much to add during the school year.  He picked a program he liked and I usually had to take the timed tests for him to progress to the next level.  He is still a slow typist, but now he says he types fast enough for his brain. Slow and steady progress seemed to be what worked and wa hat lasted.  [/quote]
