although the Beery is technically in the Average range, it is apparent that something is going on from the extreme fatigue when writing)
I'd also add to aeh's observation that it's important to be sure that you don't get snagged by the "average range" concept - there are all sorts of potential gotchas with "average":
1) The Beery contains two types of tests to assess two different types of skills. Your child might have similar range but average scores on both subtests and those would average out to "average" or your child might have an above-average score on one test and a below-average score on the other and still average out to "average".
2) "Average" (as I've heard it referred to by school/etc) usually refers to anything between 80 - 120 Standard Score for a test with a normal distribution and a mean of 100 and SD of 15 which I think is how the Beery is scored, and kids can absolutely struggle and still have a Beery score down there in the lower end of average. OTOH, just to throw out a reference point - my dsygraphic's fine motor Beery subtest was down in the 20th percentiles, and my dd with the vision challenge scored lower than 1st percentile. Their scores are completely irrelevant of your ds' scores, I just threw those out there as examples of how widely scores can diverge, and you might be running into the expectation that they have to be that low to be meaningful.
