[quote=Anonymous]Kennedy Krieger explained to us that research shows that the frontal lobe is the area of the brain that controls executive functioning. Researchers suspect an ADHD brain has problems in this frontal lobe area. Likewise, motor skills such as writing are also controlled in a location of the brain close to the frontal lobe. Not every ADHD child has writing difficulties, however an ADHD child is more likely to have writing difficulties as compared to the general population. That is why the Beery-Butanka VMI test is a good test to perform if a child demonstrates executive functioning difficulties. My two children with ADHD both tested low on the Beery-Butanka VMI test. KKI calls the issue a graphomotor disorder but the school team calls it dysgraphia. Whatever the label, accommodations such as class notes and extended time have greatly helped our children's performance. [/quote]
