They don't have him using a real slant board, it's a 3 ring binder. But I don't understand how that works. Shouldn't there be a clip at the top to hold the paper in place? I'm not really sure if that's an acceptable substitute. He doesn't write much at home (except a few math problems which take 5 minutes) so I haven't tried a binder but I should buy one and watch and see what happens.

As for DS saying how much he can handle, I don't know if he would have an opinion. He doesn't tend to complain about things and isn't very articulate. When he writes, he's very tight and awkward. He also supposedly has tremors. I'll try to have him write today and watch him and see what happens.
