DS2 has acknowldged handwriting issues, he is what they call 'effectively dyslexic'(ie the ed psych doesn't fo dx's in our lea),and he ticks a lot f the boxes for ADD and dyspraxia, SENCO said she'd write a letter to get him seen by family Paed (2 sibs with asd) back in June but still waitiing.
AT his parents evening the etahcers said he porbably won't ever write clearly so to teach him IT.
Asper my usual waste of space self I didnt think to question at the time and it has takewn a week to sink in
Now at my Uni there was access to IT but only yif you have supportivng evidence, so surely DS2 withh no handwriting and no formal help (he's on SA) will never get anywhere? He's bright as a button but written schoolwork is a write off.
I'm used to the SSEN syetm with asd but have no ideas how to approach this one. What should I ask for and at what level? I don't know how to help him or what the reality is for him.
