Our fourth grader was recently diagnosed with dysgraphia and identified as HG, per the WISC-V and the Beery VMI (which put him in the 7th percentile in terms of Motor Coordination and 18th percentile in terms of Visual Motor Integration.)
He attends an independent Catholic P-12 school, which fortunately has robust resources for learning plans and accommodations. It is not a gifted or gifted-friendly school but based on our initial meeting with the principal, it sounds like they are very open to accommodations even though our son's academic performance is high. (They believe every child should be allowed to demonstrate their full potential.)
We are starting OT in a couple of weeks so we will learn more; but it seems our son's issues are more fine motor based more than anything else.
I am curious if those on this forum have personal experience - either as a parent of a dysgraphic learner, or perhaps being dysgraphic themselves - with software applications to assist with speech-to-text, math (e.g., ModMath), mind mapping (e.g., Miro), or writing generally. And if so, which ones would you recommend for a bright fourth grader, based on your direct experience?
It is overwhelming the number of applications out there. Which is a great thing, of course. Thank you in advance for helping us crowdsource a more curated list that I can then go further research!
