DS has a broken index finger on his right hand. He's right-handed. He's also dyslexic/dysgraphic.
His classroom teacher is asking him to try his best with writing left-handed, and he is muddling through. He actually doesn't seem to mind too much, possibly because expectations are so much lower.
I'm just wondering if there is any opportunity here. Or danger. He is definitely thinking hard about the shape of every letter as he writes it. And he's doing a better job than I would have expected. Could this basic thought about the shapes help him once the cast is off? Or is his brain going to be even more muddled when it comes off, so I should ask the teacher to stop requiring him to write?
His dysgraphia is apparently pretty severe, if that makes any difference. Anybody have thoughts?
Thanks much,
Sue
