It's so hard to figure out our kids sometimes, isn't it. After all the testing we've done and DS's diagnoses, his behaviour is still sometimes a mystery to me!! Especially at age 6 - it's so hard to tell what is just normal developmentally and what is a real issue...

My DS can write neatly if he really focuses on the task - but it is quite effortful and slow. During the WIAT he had to do a writing test - took him 10 minutes to write one sentence.

Last year DS has some 'behaviour' issues in class - some things that seemed to help him:
* noise-cancelling headphones (sometimes allowed him to concentrate on the task and remind him not to talk to friends while working)
* being allowed to take breaks from the class to get a drink or walk in the halls a bit
* reduced writing/drawing demands for schoolwork/homework
* use of a computer for some of his schoolwork where more writing is involved
