I was discussing my DS10's problem with spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc. and the person I was discussing this with noted that her DS also has problems with this and that this is a working memory problem. He can spell fine with rote memorization but when he is writing a paragraph or something else it all just flies out the window.

He has visual issues and I noticed his computer therapy has some things on it that are designed to help working memory (I found some examples on the internet and they were basically the same as some of his therapy). Well again, a light bulb has gone off for me and now I am wondering how to help improve his working memory beyond what his therapy is doing. This seems to be his weakest area as it has improved the least while other areas have improved greatly. One thing at a time I suppose!

If anyone has any suggestions for things to do to help improve working memory I'd appreciate it. Thanks so much! smile
