My 13 year old (who will be moving from 7th to 8th grade this next Fall), has struggled with spatial awareness and dysgraphia. While his handwriting has improved to the point that they can now use it to verify that he is learning content (in elementary school, his handwriting was so illegible they would have to rely on his verbal responses to validate his learning), it is still a source of frustration for him
This translates beyond written word exercises, it also applies to math - he struggles to setup equations where he needs to line up digits (we utilize graph paper and things as aids), so it has impacted his math skills, as well.
While he does receive OT help through his IEP at school, I would love to get him some additional support over the summer and maybe bump up his level of self-confidence and comfort with writing as he goes into 8th grade.

My son has autism and a little bit of a learning disability. He graduated ABA six months ago, but he also started the new school in the middle of the year so he’s not completely caught up. I want to get him caught up for first grade with a tutor.
