[quote=Anonymous]Testing might be a good idea to identify if there's a learning disability, however, even if there's not, there's definitely skills kids can learn to help organize themselves and make the effort they're putting in more worthwhile. I'd take a look at Ann Dolin's book; here's an article from her website on getting organized: http://ectutoring.com/5-tips-for-organizing-your-disorganized-child Sports are probably a big motivator for him so that will help him want to get and stay on track. If sloppy handwriting isn't just the result of trying to breeze through homework but due to dysgraphia, some sessions with an OT would help. Again the testing will help suss out what's what. Also, try not to stress too much, it sounds as though your kid has a lot of potential and having an LD is not the end of the world. There's definitely good resources out there.[/quote]
