ps - one other thing I'll add - early elementary school was really rough because there was so much emphasis on advocating for accommodations and trying to remediate what we could etc. You'll find that as time moves on and your ds moves through to upper elementary and middle school things will most likely get better overall - the dysgraphia won't go away (and in our ds' case, he actually forgot some of the things he worked hard at learning due to dysgraphia... such as cursive!)... but overall, academics and life are *so* much better! It's been easier to get him appropriate academic challenge as he moved into middle school, he's happier because life is no longer all about learning how to cope with dysgraphia, and he really is now doing very well on standardized tests and doing very well in the classroom.
