Suggested Modifications for the Dysgraphic Student
  1. Allow reduced standards for acceptable writing.
  2. When possible reduce amount of written work.
  3. Allow student to type or tape assignments.
  4. Do not have student recopy illegible material. It will only get worse.
  5. If unable to read student's answers ask them to give it orally and give partial or full credit if they are correct.
  6. Do not take off points for letter and number reversals but point them out and have student correct if appropriate.
  7. When student has, multiple homework assignments allow them to do what they can on their own and dictate the rest to an older sibling or parent.
  8. Have the student use graph paper for written work.
  9. Do not have another student check the dysgraphic student's paper.

These modifications are a combination of things I have read and things my son's teachers have done through the years.
