Ditto polarbear.
Sounds like you are talking about written expression in the language sense, not merely in the handwriting or spelling sense.
Some accommodations along the lines of your brief summary:
-reduced written responses: minimum items sufficient to show mastery of skill and understanding of content. E.g., in content areas (this means science and social studies), short answers rather than full sentences or paragraphs.
-alternative response formats which minimize writing, such as multiple choice, true/false, matching, cloze (fill-in-the-blank) with and without word bank.
-supplementary oral assessment: in particular, follow-up lower-than-expected assessment scores with oral elaborations and clarifications.
