I don't usually recommend books of which I have no direct knowledge, but this one got strong reviews in the professional journals (and I've also read powerpoints of presentations by the first author, although I haven't had a chance to hear her in person). Anyway, I think this might be a worthwhile read for those of you dealing with or suspecting dysgraphia or dyslexia. It's co-authored by a psych (Dr. Virginia Berninger, author of the PAL2) and a teacher, so, according to the reviews, it has a lot of practical interventions and accommodations in it.

It may help with advocacy to have a reference work that discusses specific diagnostic signs, accommodations, and interventions. The book, I believe, actually discusses dyslexia, dysgraphia, and OWL LD, including the cognitive distinctives of each.
