[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 kids with dysgraphia (and ADHD and one also has dyslexia.) Both have horrible/illegible handwriting at 19y and 21y despite YEARS of OT in elementary and middle school. Both have accommodations in college to use a keyboard for everything. Both had issues in elementary/middle school getting their thoughts from their heads to the paper. They could tell you everything they wanted to say, but then getting it out was the issue. DH and spent a LOT of time figuring out how to teach them to write. We trialed a lot of story boards, sandwich paragraph visuals, voice to text software, etc. It took a LOT of time, but one is now a decently good writer (Deans List in college) and one still struggles, but is a solid B student in college. Dyslexic kid essentially taught himself to read fluently via context clues. He still struggles with sounding out words that he doesn't know, but can/does read for pleasure (after not for years and years.)[/quote]
