This evening had parents evening. All v positive about DS personaility, ability, attitude, effort etc. However, his handwriting is a major problem and is holding him back. It is painful watching him struggle to write at any speed and he says he worries that he can see others writing much faster and he has only written a few words. His fine motor skills are still somewhat under developed eg he struggles with buttons sometimes and picking up small things. He plays with lego a lot but not sure this has helped. Teacher was v positive and said he could offer extra practice but says this may be counter productive and we agree. (We tried last year and it just became stressful). We really don't know what to do to help him any ideas?
