[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We're considering switching our ND child (ADHD, Level 1 ASD) to private school. Our top choice does require cursive. We've done Handwriting without Tears to master manuscript and aside from a few troublesome letters we're doing well, but the idea of having to teach cursive too I think will lead to confusion, frustration, and more fighting about homework. Anyone BTDT? If you really like the school aside from this, would you just push through and hope for the best?[/quote]

I think that if the school can't help you problem solve this relatively straightforward issue, then that's a sign it's not the right school.

Wait until your kid is accepted and bring this up.  The conversation will tell you whether it's the right place overall.[/quote]

This is a good response. Both of my kids grappled with penmanship - one is ASD/ADHD/Anxiety, the other ADHD or exec function. I’m not aware of a link but I’ve always had problems with penmanship (dysgraphia?) but no one thought of OT or penmanship classes back then. I don’t have any LD - I just grip the pen too hard.  I took my kids to a penmanship tutor since the school was not helpful. Can’t say it helped. We all still have terrible penmanship.[/quote]
