Hi. I am sorry I do not have a lot of time to post, but wanted to quickly help if I could. My son has dysgraphia as well as a dyspraxia diagnosis. He is also gifted. It doesn't really matter how much you "practice" or how much OT you get, when you have dysgraphia it just doesn't go away and you continue to fall behind until you get to show knowledge without having to do it through handwriting. Accommodations should include scribing and oral answers, ASAP. My son had to have a scribe. He does great now. He gets OT during which he is taught typing, the plan is that he will eventually type and use other assistive technology and he will not longer need a scribe. If your son has dysgraphia he will need a scribe and I would look into him keyboarding when he can and being taught typing. Sorry to say that it has been my experience that repeated "practice" only gets a kid with dysgraphia depressed, anxious and a very poor self-image.
