Thank you again, I am very thankful to have found this site and appreciate everyone's help.

I do realized DYS is not the magic pill. It will take some trial and error to make things better for my DS. The principal was very excited about the DYS possibility. The big things I'm looking for is having the guidance with what to work on now? I have so many ideas. I need help of how to approach the school. What's the next step? Should he have a certain test to see where his ability is? Ways to enrich his life like getting to know other kids like him.

Today, they made another little change and he doesn't have to do the copying of his spelling words 3 times. DS has been very overwhelmed with all the cursive writing. I keep telling him it will get easier and try to be patient. I think learning typing would also help him because this capability would open opportunities for more advancement where that skill would be helpful.
