ps - just one more quick note: we found out my dd with vision issues had vision issues through neuropsych testing in 3rd grade. When the neuropsych saw dd's handwriting samples prior to the actual testing, her first remark was "wow! you have another dysgraphic child!" However, DD's ability to copy a drawing was very limited compared to ds' - which led neuropsych to conclude (along with other tests) that dd had vision challenges rather than dysgraphia. I only mention this because otherwise her handwriting at that time looked very much like a dysgraphic students' handwriting. She didn't, however, complain of wrist pain (as ds did), and while she held her face at an odd angle when looking at her papers, she didn't hold onto her wrist while writing, which ds did.
