Special_talent123 Report post Posted June 23, 2012 I prefer to write on a computer for years , but now i have recognised if i ever handwrite my hands hurt all the time. At any length of time even short periods of time. I am slower at handwriting than i type on computer. I have difficulty keeping up with what someone saying and taking notes at the same time, but a speed if i had a laptop with me? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dijac Report post Posted June 25, 2012 Hi, My 10 y.o has a similar problem, and was diagnosed with dysgraphia last year. When he is made to write quickly in school, his writing is atrocious. I am hoping that when he goes up to senior school he will be able to use a laptop to take notes, or he'll get very behind. Diane Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mannify Report post Posted June 28, 2012 Hmm, my nearly nine year old sometimes gets so stressed with writing that he hits his head with his ruler and a TA ends up scribing, or they give him a keyboard. But it's a bit of a patchy system for him. Sometimes he gets the help, sometimes he doesn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
