In children with dysgraphia or other issues with writing that can not be "cured" (my DS has Ehlers Danlos and dysgraphia) sometimes you need to 'give up' on writing. Best thing we ever did is get scribes and have my son do keyboarding and do as much of his writing on the computer as possible. Best decision. He is so much happier, much more confident... Sometimes you need to stop spending so much time and energy to fix something that can not be fixed (it really gets demoralizing for the dysgraphic child) and simply remove the obstacle.
