I have recently self diagnosed my Ds with dyspraxia and SPD and am awaiting the community paediatric team to contact me re getting a proper diagnosis.
He is in Y2, aged 7 (just). While his speech, maths and language are all way above average he really struggles with writing, hates to write and makes spelling mistakes when he does write, I think that the physical effort of writing is hard for him and so this does not help his concentration (he spells the hard part of words correctly then misses bits out or gets the easy part wrong).'
He does, however, adore the iPad, I already use it as a carrot to get him to do some writing and have today ordered Write from the Start" to do with him but am wondering how else I can use the iPad to help him.
He has a pen for the iPad (rubber tipped) so I can get him to write on doodle buddy but does anyone know of anything else? He is too big for the phonics style writing apps that we used to have.
TIA
