Suggested Modifications for the Dysgraphic Student
- Allow reduced standards for acceptable writing.
- When possible reduce amount of written work.
- Allow student to type or tape assignments.
- Do not have student recopy illegible material. It will only get
worse.
- If unable to read student's answers ask them to give it orally and
give partial or full credit if they are correct.
- Do not take off points for letter and number reversals but point
them out and have student correct if appropriate.
- 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.
- Have the student use graph paper for written work.
- 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.
