Great job should be a PSA.

Let me know where research is being done , can I do it online, Im a psychology student with Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia. I need help with my writing. I would like to make it easier for the next students that are suffering. My professor's see i get the concept of what is asked but not enough imput of self-expression. Plus, note taking is a farce for me. Braille is too hard and print is done but is sloppy. disorganized and therefore my papers are too.i use Grammarly and Ghotit, Zoomtext and the magnifier, Screen magnification.

This man talks fast but I can follow.i learned so much i wished I had learned long ago.

Thank you!

Very little time spent on "what to do when students struggles". About 5 minutes. I wouldn't have watched this if I had known.

Fantastic!

This was a great webinar. I learned so much. Thank you!

I am now 68 years old and am a person with ADHD and Dysgraphia . I can tell you it's a life long thing. I did not get the help and my generation of L D folks suffered a lot. I still to this day hate school. I am glad it's better now but by listening to your conversation you understand how frustrating it all is.

Jai jhulelal from sindh 👍

This is amazing keep up the great work 👍👍

This was such an enlightening session. I am struggling with my son who was diagnosed with ADD and Dysgraphia. We homeschool him and have been trying to figure out how to help him. Admittedly, I have followed the "Just sit down and do it, method, which clearly hasn't worked and just turned into battles with him. I am so happy I was introduced to this webinar and I walked away with some great insights. I realize it will not change over night, so I will have to practice patience and persistence.

Love this so much!!! #NAME? "Promo SM"!

Thank you for this! We are so lucky to have such amazing people moving us forward to answers for our kiddos!

This was awesome. Here are my takeaways: Writing decomposes into a bunch of different skills and areas of the brain that are coordinated by executive function (EF). If you don’t have EF, you can’t write. If you don’t have all the other skills needed, you can’t write. You need to identify the right weaknesses and train them…applying generic pressure won’t work and will lead to shame and avoidance. LOL: Summer Time is oil Change time ...this sounds like something my son would say. :) I like the idea of copying good sentences, as a way of practicing writing that places less demands on EF. The example he gave of a 10 year old that had poor writing, but could dictate a rich story was compelling (see 34:00 or so)…seems like a good way to prove the point that EF is the issue rather than something else. The fact that the kid avoided writing using his full vocabulary was sad. Interesting that we are supposed to gently correct the spelling and not leave it wrong. Interesting that practice is important. Interesting that teaching strategies for writing are important. Notable that weak executive function can be mistaken for oppositional defiance (38:00). Best Practices in Writing Instruction by Steve Graham might be worth buying. Strategy for unblocking when you don’t have ideas: talk to your teacher, talk to your classmate, or talk to yourself! Mind blown-you can talk to yourself and get the same effect as talking to someone else. The story about the kid that reversed his letters (47:00) was a compelling illustration of what an effective intervention can do. Don’t assume avoidance stems from laziness or lack of interest or lack of smarts. Those are easy to reach for, but if you’re wrong, and you probably are, you will miss the opportunity to bring out the best in your student and do damage instead. Meta cognitive strategy coaching. How to think about thinking. Association of Educational Therapists know how to teach strategies for writing. Cognitive strategy instruction. Do you teach cognitive strategies for writing? In middle school, teachers tend to judge your writing and tell you what’s wrong, but they don’t tend to teach you strategies to get better. He had to teach graduate students how to write because they got to that advanced level of schooling and had still never learned how to write. Do the same assignment 6 times to learn how to write rather than doing 6 assignments and doing a bad job on all 6. Teaching to mastery instead of teaching to criteria. Give detailed feedback over and over and give an A for eventually getting it right, after many rounds of feedback and improvement. That way the student learns how to write. Use Grammarly. It’s like a code linter, but for prose. Bad behavior is a strategy for masking bad writing and avoiding it. Practice practice practice. He asked an author how he became such a good writer. He said he copied entire books by his favorite philosopher, word for word, and by the time he was done, he could write like that philosopher. If you want to absorb a writer’s voice, copy that’s writer’s work. You’ll start to think like that writer. Musicians don’t start by authoring music. They start by copying and playing someone else’s work. Rewards are ok if they get your kid writing. Use them as long as they work. Once they stop working, you have the hard work you always needed to do anyway, which is breaking down the problem and developing the underlying skills that feed writing as a composite skill.

Our son is struggling with executive dysgraphia in higher Math. Showing the steps in Math to get the accurate answer.

Thank you so much for breaking down the different pieces of dysgraphia. As parents it's hard for us to see the WHY for their struggles.

Thanks this is very helpful and I am very grateful. My 8 years old has it.
