What Can Mainstream Teachers Do To Assist Students With Dysgraphia Characteristics?

Published on November 14, 2012 by in Dysgraphia

Use the following to select and implement strategies that would be most beneficial for a student’s needs:

1. Experiment with chair and desk size (ensure proper height and posture).

2. Provide a slanted writing surface (use a 4 in. binder as a slant board).

3. Provide increased opportunities for activities that require one-handed manipulation (MATN, 2001) (painting, erasing, and sky-writing) to establish hand dominance.

4. Use an enlarged copy or one with wider margins and/or triple-spaces lines.

5. Color code where to stop and start on paper or use colored paper (MATN, 2001).

6. Experiment with different types of lined papers (raised lines, colored lines, extra space between lines, graph paper).

7. Use writing instruments that are easier to handle or grasp (primary – larger pencils; intermediate – mechanical pencils; weighted pencils).

8. Stabilize paper to prevent writing surface from moving using tape, clipboards, sticky notes, and glue sticks.

9. Use specialized materials to enlarge or change the shape of writing tools (different shapes of pencil grips such as Stetro, triangular, or pear-shaped).

10. Provide both written and oral directions for the same activity.

What are the Typical Allowable Accommodations for Dysgraphic Students?

Published on November 14, 2012 by in Dysgraphia

A testing accommodation is a change to the testing environment to assist a student with special needs so that assessment can mirror classroom instruction as much as possible without invalidating test results. Only test accommodations that do not cause test results to be invalid may be used with state tests. The decision to use a particular accommodation with a student should be made on an individual basis and should take into consideration:

(a) the needs of the student and

(b) whether the student routinely receives the accommodation in classroom instruction.

What Are The Procedures For Dysgraphic Students Identified Outside The District?

Published on November 14, 2012 by in Dysgraphia

Students identified as having dysgraphia characteristics or other related disorders from an outside source will be evaluated for eligibility in the district’s program. Any district may choose to accept the outside assessment, or may re-assess the student. In either situation, the committee of knowledgeable persons (SAT) will determine the identification status of a student enrolled in the district, and the placement of the student in the dysgraphia program(s).
