Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Twice Exceptional Sentence diagramming program?

DS11 with dysgraphia is headed into a year of diagramming in the fall. His private school will allow him to use any reasonable accommodation but I have to find it. Does anyone have suggestion for a good diagramming program that is Mac compatible?

Thanks!

What does a sentence diagramming program do? I understand how diagramming sentences helps visualize parts of speech promoting better grammar. Does the program tutor how to do diagramming? Does the program automatically diagram sentences so a kid can visualize if their sentence is grammatically correct and actually saying what they meant to say? I have not looked into this, I am just asking what the program does and I'll help you look online for it.

I read it as "assists with drawing the lines, so the assignments could be typed." Same theory as a word processor that handles math equations.

I don't know the first thing about computers or what works on which one.
