He has an IEP for speech at the moment and they are currently in the process of assessing him as "physically impaired". I think they are expecting that they will write the IEP (after I made a huge fuss and complained to the State, Special Ed director, etc). The next meeting is on the 19th when they will go through all the testing results.
The neuropsych diagnosed him with DCD but did not mention dysgraphia. When I mentioned dysgraphia to him later he just said that he doesn't think DS would qualify for services with a dysgraphia diagnosis. DS has another appt. tomorrow so I can ask about it again. I may also ask him to do the Pegboard test again so we can see if it's better. We didn't know if the awful results he had in May were due to the TBI and skull fractures or to the DCD.
I'm not sure if the school even knows what dysgraphia is. If it is dysgraphia, how would services/treatment be the same or different than if it's just a fine motor coordination issue?
He doesn't have homework other than math, but I'm sure he would fight me if I asked him to write more than a few sentences. I do try to work on Handwriting without Tears with him at home and he clearly does not enjoy it. He is getting private OT but they hardly work on handwriting at all. I'm debating just stopping those services.
