I work with a family who has a a little boy who I think is pretty bright from his conversations. He has anxiety about his handwriting, and when I saw one of his notebooks, I knew why. The whole year's worth of notes was completely illegible. His teacher says if he "tries hard enough" he can write. Hmmm. Poor boy, he cries at home about his homework. Anyway, I want someone to take a look at him to have him assessed for a potential learning disability, but the school keeps going on about his anxiety, and they want that diagnosed first before checking out the writing issue. Does anyone have any idea why the school would want that? I just want to find out why the child cannot write and get him accommodations.
