Written Expression

Quote From: niesajac

Our son was diagnosed with TS 6 years ago.  We moved 2 years ago and found a wonderful school that really worked with him as far as letting him take tests orally and many of the things that they have done for your son.  I am not familiar with "written expression".  Where would I find out about it?  He has terrible penmanship, and takes forever to get things down on paper.  His vocabulary is amazing, and he's an awesome speller, but hates to read and hates to write.  Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.

We had my son tested at the school base level and at a clinical level. 

Easiest way to determine if there is a problem there, is to take the exact same test on both the computer and on paper. My son failed the paper test every time and the computer test passed with flying colors. 

His work is extremely messy and only he has the ability to read it. We now have him on a computer based program for his core classes and this seems to be more beneficial for him. 

Hope this helps a little
