DS (7) has dyspraxia and appalling/veeeeeery slow handwriting as a result. His writing is virtually illegible and if he tries to write quickly it's worse and it's really holding him back.
His CT has said that the school are 'looking into' getting him some kind of device that he could speak into so that he isn't hampered by his poor handwriting. The school has a kind of typing machine with a dot matrix display at the top but his CT doesn't think his typing will be good enough and I thought it looked really crap when the senco showed it to me because you can only see one line of text at a time.
Has anyone's child used something similar or got any suggestions? I'd really love to be able to make it impossible for them to refuse to allow this but I'm a bit worried they might give up if it's hard to find something that would do the job.
