Thanks aeh - we're in Canada, so I'm not sure how much of that would apply, or if that is used up here.

It sounds like what they psychologist told us (about using grade-level for writing assessment) is not best practices, but also not uncommon.

I just wondered if there was another test that would show his writing issues more clearly. I mean if a kid can write at grade level, but it takes a long time and a lot of concentration to do that (10 minutes to write one sentence) - surely that shows a problem??

Also, if he is able to focus on writing one sentence for 10 minutes - how does he have ADHD?
