Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums General Discussion Hates writing

Dysgraphia? DS7 was assessed as dysgraphic and writing is very, very difficult for him. I can see him thinking about each letter before he writes it. And he muddles them up pretty easily. SLowly, slowly getting more fluid. But it's a grind. Edit to add: DS also has super fine motor skills outside the context of writing.

Sidenote: "boring" is nothing but a catch all for all things DS doesn't want to do. "Boring" may actually be boring, but it also may mean "hard," "not what I want to do right now," or "useless" (as in doing rote exercises for things he already knows).
