[QUOTE="jennd23, post: 501164, member: 11755"] He does have an IEP in place. Its been a while so I'm not up on all my acronyms...its an OHI for ADHD, he has other things listed in my sig, but the school's evaluation didn't qualify him as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). He has NOT had an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation through the school. For handwriting they like to do X amount of time of handwriting stuff before they do that. We went through a LOT to get this far so I'm playing by their rules, but its time for the Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation now, there isn't enough improvement. He goes to Special Education JUST for handwriting and social skills. What would/could they do for organization? that seems like a good idea..... I don't know if his hand hurts, he never complains and he loves to draw and paint, I think if it hurt, he wouldn't want to do those. But...what do I know :) Here's what I've drafted to the teacher, is this non-accusatory enough? [SIZE=2]Hi Mrs. C, I wanted to see if we need to set up some time with Mrs. B to talk about S's handwriting? I noticed that a lot of his papers have come home with "Can't read" or "too messy" written on them lately. I want to make sure that his handwriting isn't affecting his grades. Maybe we can work with Mrs. B and see if she has some other strategies she can use with him when he goes to her classroom. I know that his handwriting is hard to read and messy, but I know that Mrs. B and him have been working very hard on it this year. I wonder if now might be a good time for an ARD to discuss an Occupational Therapist (OT) evaluation or other ways we can help him. I know he is allowed to use a word processor if needed per, his IEP. Maybe he could use that on some things, or on work that you can't read, maybe he could verabally tell you his answers? I'm open to things we can work on at home too if you have any suggestions. Let me know if you think we need to get together with Mrs. B. Thanks! J[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
