My son has been diagnosed with a form of dysgraphia- he cannot get his ideas down on paper.
He is 16 and homeschooled in a relaxed manner for 4 years with a no stress dicate to mom format when writing came up, he recopied what he dictated if need be ands we continued on our merry way.
We have been meaning to get him typing to see if that helps. Any advice? Anybody's kid carry around a pda with keyboard to use the word processer?

HI,
Sorry it took me a while to write back. I am just getting into the swing of things after the holidays. We have an Alpha Smart and use it often. I use it too. It is a kid laptop. Then you can plug it into your computer and print it out in Word. I got a PDA for Christmas and love it. I was considering a keyboard but don't have one. I think it would depend on how your child likes working it.

Here is the web site. They used to have a loaner program that you could get one and try it.
