I just read socks’ post in the ‘at wits end’ thread. I too have a son who has difficulty in writing. He is going into fifth grade, but his handwriting is like a first graders. He doesn’t like to write. So far, his behavior is not bad. He doesn’t try to avoid it like socks’ son, but I would like any advice on how to deal with this. His pediatrician recommended an evaluation at the child development unit of the local children’s hospital. My son will be going in the middle of September for this evaluation. What has anybody on this board learned about dysgraphia, or writing difficulties?
