Polarbear, those are really excellent points and I know what you are getting at since my oldest is dysgraphic and have classic symptoms. I am pretty sure that DS13 is not truly dysgraphic. He can write really fast so can't possibly need to think about how to form each letter. The spacing issues have improved tremendously from early elementary and the formation issues I partly blame on lack of strict teaching/correcting in K. I can see how typing everything would be an improvement for students with dysgraphia. As for DS, I think that it takes him a long time to write neatly because he stops and thinks about what he is doing (maybe even each letter/word?) and he is trying to be too perfect.
