Thanks for the suggestions and keep them coming.
So this is the backstory for me starting the thread:
DS5 is just finishing up his fist year in what will be two years in a mixed 5/6 Montessori classroom. The school is not a member of any of the national Montessori organizations and seems to function more like a rigorous academic type school with every kid at their own pace. We like the school, his teacher and overall we are very happy.
The issue is that we have a 2e kid (maybe 3e if that is even a term). This fall he has two assessments. He will be getting an neuropsychological assessment with the Eides and he will be seeing a geneticist for a strongly suspected connective tissue disorder. The connective tissue disorder could be causing the dyspraxia/dysgraphia type symptoms for which he has been in OT for the last year.
I think his teacher is looking forward to his assessment with the Eides as much as we are. She read the Dyslexic Advantage over spring break and has a dyslexic daughter. She wants to help him. We just all need to know what exactly is going on and how to help him.
He has about six weeks of the spring semester left and will be attending summer school.
I am looking for suggestions for his assignment sheet that don't trip up his weak areas so much until we know what is going on. Something he can do independently that his teacher could check when he completes it.
