Thanks for the great ideas, everyone. DS is supposed to be using graphic organizers as part of his IEP, but I don't think that's happened. I'll download Inspiration to see if that helps. I'm going to try timelines, as well, since my brain also doesn't mesh with graphic organizers (hope I haven't passed that on!).
KADmom my DS hates sharing personal thoughts in language arts, but it never occurred to me to suggest BS as a way around it. He will love, love, love that idea, thanks!
Polarbear I was wondering about an expressive language issue. I'll pm you, thanks.
