Thanks for the links/explanation. I don't know if DD has done anything in school so far this year (other than math assessments), and I don't know how much of her issues with writing last year were behavioral/anxiety or if she is really behind. I think I'll try having her write and timing her, however what she does at home (or one on one with an assessor) may be completely different than what she does in class. It's the same with DS. He writes fine with the spec. ed teacher, but could end up doing nothing in class. It depends on whether he likes the topic or if he spaces out.
