worried about written work

Hi my name is Sarah. I have two children both with autism. My little boy is 5 years old and has only been diagnosed this year he is struggling with his written work me and the school both agree he is so bright but struggles writting what he knows in school and at home. He has hand tremor aswell as asd i have been to ocupational therpy and has his bloods done to try and find were the hand tremor comes from but am unsuccesful.

 

My little girl is 7 nearly 8 and she was diagnosed last year. She is very differnet to my son in acedemics she really finds education hard she works at a 5 year olds level instead of a 7 year old which is very hard as my daughter comes home and crys askin why she cant write and read like the other children in her class the only subject she enjoys and can do is maths. I have tryed magnets with writtin words on that we read as a family me her and her brother, i have tryed work books even writting diarys with her and she still cant maintain her writing or her reading.

i guess am here for some help for both can anyone help to understand my sons hand tremor or how i can help my little girl.

any help is really apreciated

thank you from

sarah

  • If a child is falling behind, you have to wonder if the teaching staff are giving that child the same time and effort that they give the NT kids...

    I have a ninety-fifth percentile IQ yet more than one teacher decided that time spent teaching me was wasted time that could be spent on "normal" children...

    You should ask your child about their interactions with their teacher in order to insure that they are recieving their fair share of educational resources...
