J's handwriting is illegible!!! Not hard to read but totally illegible. I worked with him at home to the point of tears every day and it never improved. As he progressed in school I noticed that even though verbally he was able to give me a 30 minute dissertation on what he just learned, when asked to write it out, he only gave short phrases. Because of these issues he was labeled lazy and also was but in lower level classes. He became very frustrated and bored in these classes, but was getting Ds and Fs.

He also struggles with short term memory issues and often forgets assignments,papers that need signed, to put on pants.
