Hi, Everyone....Congratulations to !!! Sounds like a wonderful day.

....Gareth learned writing the alphabet fairly easily in 1st grade

and learned cursive writing in 3rd grade from his OT. His cursive writing is

neater than his older brother's. Actually, they say that cursive is easier

for the kids because their hands don't have to leave the paper. I think his

writing skills came from all the previous years of *chicken scribble* that he

use to do. He'd lay on the floor for hours and go line, to line, to

line......neatly filling pages of scribble that looked like some foreign

language.

Guess that part of his OCD was productive!!! He also uses a keyboard and

computer for school work. He carries a Notepad for when people don't

understand

him and he can write the word out for them. They are really pushing him

hard on his spelling since his speech is so poor just so that he can

communicate

using the Notepad.

Take care, Everyone.

Margaret
