People think she is a 6yo when the see her. This ride is getting wilder all the time...

My understanding is that writing troubles can be both 'brain' and 'body' - how is her posture? I know that writing will be affected by poor 'core muscles' or low finger/arm dexterity. Have you had a Physical Therapist evaluation to see if her bone age is affecting her physical development.

BTW - don't blame yourself for not being 'on the ball' there is no ball! Our kids didn't come with instuction books and the 'professionals' are often 180degrees in the wrong direction. You are working hard NOW, and that's all that matters. I was totally in the dark until DS was in 2nd grade!
