Hi Charlie's Mom,
How old is your son?
Does he have keyboard skill? At what level?
My son is an amazing writer for his age, at 12, but like yours, in elementary school would get in trouble for being 'defiant' because sometimes during writting assignments, he would just stare at the paper, or scribble down a few words that the teacher would say, 'to get him started.' The whole thing was very embarrassing for him.
BTW, our school had experts, which were sure that using a graphical organizer was going to solve this problem. Now our son can use a graphical organizer, but he still hates to do so, and usually does it after he writes his papers.
((shrugs))
Is it worth it to hire a parent advocate to help you negotiate this?
