[quote=Anonymous]Things that helped my DC's with writing.

Having them dictate to teacher/aide their answers - especially on assessments in school.

On homework they would dictate to us , they would copy them (one handwrote the other was on keyboard) once the ideas were on paper. FOr th eone with ASD and mild writing issues, he was up on printing fast and keyboarding by the start of 6th grade. For the one with profound dyslexia and dysgraphia, he was up on technology by the start of Junior year- yes he dictated to us up to that point- although it tapered off. He made progress every year, but so did the expectations of how much writing was required.

Keyboarding keyboarding keyboarding.  Work on that. We would do 15 minutes every day during the summer and that added up over time. Sometimes I would take the test if they weren't fast enough to get to the next level. This moved them forward. One will never be a fast typist, but is vastly faster than when he tries to print. He had OT from 2nd grade -6th grade and nothing helped.

Graphic organizers- help people organize all those thoughts in their brains. Tons on the internet and almost al are free. They cover every different type of writing assignment. Both DC's developed a favorite.

There are speech to text software programs out that that are vastly superior to what was available when my children were in ES. Dragon Naturally Speaking is one, My DC even uses Siri to some extent.
