ElizabethN, polarbear,

Thanks for replying.
It's nice to know that others are in similar situations.

My son is currently in therapy, and we recently started Handwriting without Tears. We assumed that he would teach himself to write, the way he has taught himself everything else, but he actually needs our help, and even, *gasp*, repetition. We are still adjusting to the fact that these things are difficult for him, and that we need to be actively involved.

Have you seen progress with your kids over time?
Any recommendations?
