Hi, our 7 year old son struggles to express himself verbally and often sits in English lessons writing nothing at all when asked to do creative writing tasks. It makes him anxious and he often just draws a picture instead. He's a very bright boy but when he gets to KS2 he will need to start writing at least a paragraph or so. I will try touchtyping. How do scribes work and are there any other options? I'm at a loss. He's not naughty but just shuts down with these open ended tasks. I wonder if I might need an EHCP for one to one support but even then it's like getting blood from a stone so I wonder if trying a technology of some kind is the best next step. He's in mainstream independent school. Thank you!
