One thing I suggest, if you have your child in public school and are seeking special ed intervention due to the handwriting asynchrony, take him/her to a neurologist and get a "dyspraxia" diagnosis with the "dysgraphia" diagnosis. Dyspraxia is recognized in the "other health disorder" category of special education, while most states do not recognized dysgraphia.
It made a world of difference for The Mite and qualified him for special ed intervention.
We've noticed the asynchrony (didn't know that's what it was) when he was small. He was way late on the pincer grasp (like nearly 3), didn't climb steps until he was nearly 4 (well crawled them but didn't do the upright way you are supposed to), didn't ride a bike until 7 (took the pedals off until he learned balance and also used a burley trailor bike to get him to balance then he finally got it) didn't tie his shoes until 7, still has problems with ****ons and buckles, etc.
I'll have to post The Mite's whole story...birth to now....and get the groups take on it. It is quite interesting.
