[quote=Anonymous]Is he the lowest performing in handwriting and art, or in all of the academic subjects? My second grade son has terrible handwriting (he had OT in the past for his fine motor skills), but academically he is among the most advanced in his class. Unless the handwriting is discouraging him from doing the work, I don't think they are closely related. My son likes to type emails to his dad and grandparents. That seems like a nice way to practice the longer story writing skills without the struggle of handwriting. In the meantime, some of the homework we got from the OT included monkey bars, working with clay (hiding things in clay for them to find is a fun activity), stress balls, playing lite brite, and making rainbow loom bands. We still do a lot of those things to strengthen his handwriting muscles. Good luck![/quote]
