Thanks Littlebotsmom,

It’s funny you mention crayons. She loves crayons BUT

she will not use a broken crayon, we have oodles of broken crayons (incidentally

found in our heat register). I don’t understand why she won’t, I guess one of

those quirks? I got her one of those Crayola art briefcases last year, it has

short colored pencils… she won’t use those either. She likes to try to use my

pens. I use paper mates, they are like 15 to a bag, the skinny cheap kind.

I have already been looking into the Handwriting

without tears. When I looked it up I saw so many products from them. I will

look at the teachers manual. Thanks for the suggestions and the links, I will check

them out later today.

Thanks ,

I am going to get some of several of the grips

suggested and let her pick which to try first. I don’t think I will coat them

in anything. Whenever she gets where she won’t touch certain things we have “specialâ€

gloves. They are actually children’s pink Deere garden gloves.

We already have all that craft stuff to make cards.

Lately we have been playing restaurant and she takes everyone’s orders.

You mentioned when your kid freaking out when finger paint

was on her. My daughter is that way too. She will not wear band-aids either.

She is funny about textures on her clothes. She has a lot of sensory issues we

are working to overcome. I did ask her why she wanted stamps on her hands now. This

was one of my DUH moments… Last weekend we went to the gun show and adults have

to have their hands stamped. She saw my stamp and wanted one. Now if everything

else were as easy as me showing her by example.

Thanks Jane,

I would be interested in knowing the name of the device

with the charm you used. I wonder why it is not recommended to use the other

type of pencils devices? Perhaps the pinch grip? I like the sand idea too.

I appreciate everyone’s suggestions. Thanks!! To: autism-aspergers Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 2:51 AM Subject: Re: Training Device (Pincer Grip and Handwriting)

I applaud you working on this now. My son is 16 and has such bad dysgraphia that he is unable to read his own handwriting. He was a late diagnosis (13) for AS, but was diagnosed with ADHD and dysgraphia and anxiety at almost 9 years old. By then, the OT (school) said it was basically too late to change his ways and just had him learn keyboarding. After his diagnosis a private OT working with him using the handwriting without tears program and it did help. He can at least sign his name when needed. He does struggle with math when he has to show his work. He gets severe anxiety over having to try to write. We have it listed that for testing,

etc that he be allowed a scribe, even for the standard tests. Bubbling is a hard for him.Vicky To: "autism-aspergers " <autism-aspergers > Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 8:22 AM Subject: Re: Re: Training Device (Pincer Grip and

What is 'bubbling'?

 

I applaud you working on this

now.  My son is 16 and has such bad dysgraphia that

he is unable to read his own handwriting.  He was a

late diagnosis (13) for AS, but was diagnosed with ADHD and dysgraphia and anxiety at

almost 9 years old.  By then, the OT (school) said

it was basically too late to change his ways and

just had him learn keyboarding.  After his diagnosis

a private OT working with him using the handwriting

without tears program and it did help.  He can at

least sign his name when needed.  

He does struggle with math when

he has to show his work.  He gets severe anxiety

over having to try to write.  We have it listed that

for testing, etc that he be allowed a scribe, even

for the standard tests.  Bubbling is a hard for him.

Hi, Vicky,My 10 yr old grandson (PDD-NOS) whom I raising has all the signs of dsygraphia, but when I begged for testing at his annual IEP meeting in June, they said he was passing and therefore not eligible for testing. (He failed Writing!) They really just won't pay for it, is what it comes down to. His OT said the same thing, that it's too late for handwriting improvement, so the coming school year he is supposed to be able to have a computer in the class that he can use. He also suffers from intense anxiety which began this past year with a really bullying teacher who scared him half to death most of the time and next year he's going to have a teacher who apparently might be even worse! I wish I could put him in private school or somewhere else, but there isn't much of a choice where we

live.I think he also has Tourette's. He's had tics of different kinds, mostly throat-clearing, sniffing and eye-blinking, but this past year his anxiety made it much worse. Should I go get him re-diagnosed? Anyone have any ideas?Thanks. To: "autism-aspergers " <autism-aspergers > Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 5:37 PM Subject: Re:

Oops, sorry. Yes bubbling is where you have to fill in circles to indicate the answer on tests. When he does them, it is hard to tell if he meant A or B, etc. Vicky To: "autism-aspergers " <autism-aspergers > Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2012 8:58 PM

Don't let them bully YOU. If they won't test, then request that they send him for an independent evaluation. They are required to pay (per IDEA I think). The schools will tell you they can't do this or that, and unless you check the laws for your state.....most of us believe. I like to be the parent who appears "compliant", until they tell me something I know is totally wrong. Then I pull out my knowledge and shut them up.I would file a complaint against that teacher. Here in Arkansas I went to the state board of education website and searched for complaint. There

is a form you fill out then mail in to them. I had to do this the past school year on my son's resource English teacher (who happens to be the SPED dept head at this high school). I even had an emergency meeting with her, the assistant principal, the speech path, his IEP coordinator and my son. She is so full of excuses, and they all know, but she has been there for over 30 years. He was changed from her class to and inclusion English and actually did better. I have it now in his IEP that she is not to have access to my son or his records. I know at each IEP I have to sign and receive a copy of the current SPED rights under IDEA. It is hard to read and understand, but try. I have had to learn so much since my son's diagnosis and continue to

learn every hour it seems. Good luck, and if he is going to be with a bad teacher, tell them you want him assigned to a different one. I hope the school is at least large enough to accommodate this.Sincerely,Vicky

Thanks Vicky, I am only working on it since she has an interest. I see she gets frustrated and so I want her to learn the proper way before she gets set in a way that will not help her. I figure if she is willing to learn it can't hurt. I am also going to get handwriting without tears.

Thanks, Vicky,for all your good advice. Unfortunately, we are in the worst school system in NY State in terms of special ed. Three schools have closed due to budget cuts. Our school is due to close the year after next. (He will be in middle school then) Next year they are consolidating both fifth grades into one classroom with this awful teacher, if you can believe... Even parents of neurotypical kids are distressed about it.Rather than dwell on the past, I think I will wait and probably bring a complaint against this new teacher in the coming year if I have to.
