I posted on my thread about spacing issues in writing about my DYS DS 6. He has an IEP for writing, he gets OT for that. But it seemed from the VMI that there was something else so were referred to an eye teaching hospital and we did an extensve round of vision testing and will be going back for an additional test. His handwriting is definitely affected by tone and other things the OT will help with but I am more and more convinced that it's a vision thing. But it's so easily missed because his reading ability is so over the top. I think the VMI is a good first step, my DS had it twice, but it wasn't nearly as diagnostic as what the vision people did. And the rankings against peers seemed more detailed. So you might want to try that because the report coupled with the rest of the neuro psych might help. Although we are in the middle of this like you are so take it with a grain of salt.
and we did get extended time and stuff even though he technically doesn't need it now.
