Thanks for all the suggestions. I appreciate his teacher speaking with me regarding his handwriting, but I am truly baffled that she did not have suggestions or advice to give me. I will give mechanical pencils a try at home and send some to school if it helps. I will also look into other ideas mentioned here, thanks a bunch.
Earlier this year I asked for the speech therapist to assess DS's speech as he was assessed in preschool for early intervention. He did not qualify for services, but they recommended follow up in kindergarten. They noticed deficits this year and sent materials home for DS, but he does not receive any services at school. While it seems that school is proactive, I am not sure how eager they are to do more than this for us.
