Displaced, another thing to mention - my ds started out using a laptop in elementary school, but he's older and was in elementary school before the iPad came out. He switched to an iPad in middle school and has never looked back - today iPads contain basically everything a dysgraphic needs for success in school with the exception of a few math utilities which you probably wouldn't even consider until your ds is much farther along in math - and by that time, they'll most likely be on the iPad too.
The reason I mention this is that the iPad, for my ds, felt so much less conspicuous and also is so much lighter that it's easy for a kid to carry around therefore much more portable from classroom to classroom or even just across one classroom.
Best wishes,
