DD10 has dyslexic dysgraphia. I ditto everything written above. For DD the earliest and most concerning sign was her outright refusal to do written work. I'm talking, writhing on the in physical pain. Her writing is terrible, she mixes capitals and lowercase. Her spelling is that of a dyslexic. She doesn't make many letter reversals, but she only uses words she thinks she can spell.
Having a typing accommodation has changed everything for her. She uses Ginger software for editing. We have tried to remediate her handwriting but had to stop because it was affecting her anxiety so badly. Now, we focus on her strengths. She is a different kid!!
