First order of Business is tackling writing (fine motor skills) and setting up the curriculum around it.  

Lawrence was evaluated for fine motor skills and started receiving OT in first grade and is still receiving it today.  The problem is OT has him writing on special paper with guidelines, his processing disorder has an impact on his fine motor skills, but OT guidelines are not brought over to the class room or to his class work.  I am finding that if OT and class room activities are not working together  Lawrence is not getting the practice he needs to make progress with his fine motor skill issues.  He is typically still on bigger lined paper but as the grades progress he is expected to write on smaller lines in a smaller space.  He hasn't mastered writing but is expected to move on because that is the pace of the classroom.

This is Lawrence's hand writing in Kindergarten

This is Lawrence's hand writing in Second Grade

I have found this great writing program Handwriting Without Tears, http://www.hwtears.com/hwt .  

It is a different approach to writing and lined paper.  I am ordering the Second grade workbook for Lawrence to do at home and I will be using the paper layout and writing workbook for all of Lawrence's writing assignments for our home school 3rd grade setting.  I am setting up the curriculum so his therapies carry over to his school setting so everything is working together.  Hoping that having everything working together and being able to provide him with more one-on-one interaction we can start to make some positive changes in his life.  Keep following as the curriculum comes together for our adventure into education at Lawrence's pace.
