I want to shout out DS's 1st grade teacher for her AMAZING support of his writing issues. He doesn't do timed math minutes, she is having him spell verbally in addition to the spelling tests so she can see that he knows it even when it doesn't always come out right when written. And best yet, she is teaching him typing, and allowing him to choose how much of his homework he wants to handwrite or type. This is above and beyond the IEP - she said he will need it eventually and this way he learns early and his issues won't impact his ability to express himself to his full capabilities - DS is so comfortable now and it is all due to her making him feel comfortable and special in the right ways!!
There are teachers out there sensitive to 2E issues!!!
