And on that note, any plans to begin learning keyboarding?
Well, that is a bit of problem too - because of his vision. His visual-motor integration is very poor so he is bad at the keyboard. He still can't dial a phone - eg he thinks he is hitting an 8 but is hitting the number next to it over and over and just can't get it. Same with keyboard. It's his poor visual sequencing and tracking skills. However, vision therapist says that is improving. I realize when you learn to type you learn by not looking at the keyboard but I personally don't see DS being able to do that this year at all. And he has got enough on his plate or I would try maybe typing class or something.
We do have dictation software (the dragon one) we just got it and haven't started it yet.
FWIW I do believe his handwriitng will continue to improve and he'll be relatively fine. Eventually. The combination of vision therapy with the OT has made everyhting really take off. Really. However, he is still well over a year behind his peers (almost two years actually) on his fine motor and even more on his visual motor integration.
And he will be able to keyboard I am sure in the coming years.
