Thank you Master of None for the positive encouragement. DS is definitely thinking he just can't do it and doesn't want to put in effort. I am definitely going to work on teaching typing skills but how do you work on spelling (I have All about spelling and use all the tactile methods already and nothing is sinking in)? Rely on spell check for the time being? That's good to hear about your DS responding well to keyboarding. It is hard to switch that "I can't do" to a focus on the "can dos". These guys can get really hung up on their short comings.
