Thank you all for the advice. It has given me a nice checklist to go through. I really think the issue is strongly related to the perfectionism and there is nothing really emotionally in her background to induce it. It is just the way she always has been since she was a baby and we have to tell her mistakes are okay. As a 2yr old, she took all day to color because it had to be in the lines and the "right" color. I think the speed of writing may play a part as well. I just have to work on getting her past it. The article was fantastic and allowed me to take a sigh of relief. I knew these boards was worth my time. I think I may start a process of teaching her to type. Since she plays the piano well, i think if she learns to type separately from an assignment, she will pick it up and it will help her communicate more quickly "on paper". We'll see!
