Had parents night for DS2 in 3rd year, he is doing really well, a joy to teach etc etc :) However, his handwriting is shockingly poor and takes forever. Teacher has suggested that he be able to use a laptop for his work which we are all okay with, this has to be arranged through the Learning support area but aside from the handwriting he has no need for learning support - anyone been in a similar situation and had it approved?
My DS1 already uses a laptop and whilst he doesn't have an official diagnosis, he is on staged intervention for other needs and therefore is already meant to get support. Effectively though all he gets is permission to use the laptop which is really unrelated to the needs he is supposed to get help for.
