We have never had any fine motor skills test done or the test you described. We have a processing speed issue, timed versus untimed. He does much better on untimed. Regarding the writing, I would say he has gotten better over time. He is now 11. When he wants to write neat, he uses alot of brain power. He takes a long long time to copy and is extremely fatigued once he does. He also still has spacing issues, writes his letters pretty big compared to peers. Upper and lower case letters are now proportioned, P B D and G being the biggest culprits, the ones he used to invert but doesn't anymore. The biggest thing I noticed is how he writes the least possible words he can. The physical task of writing anything makes him really tired. He has gotten faster as time has gone on. Should I try the timed alphabet thing? Would that give me some useful info? It sounds like we really didn't get a screening for dysgraphia at all.
Thanks for the great responses.
