[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He can retell orally, not in writing. It could have a physical component, I dont know. Will the school evaluation tell me?[/quote] If he has dysgraphia (aka "disorder of written expression"), it's a brain hand coordination thing. He has good verbal skills and IQ, but he is having problems getting his hand to do what his brain wants. It makes writing very labor intensive and miserable. It's more a neurological problem than a motor skills problem. You can try getting occupational therapy for it, but it takes forever to improve via oT and it's a miserable experience for the kid.
