Classroom accommodations for children with handwriting problems

• The teacher should hand homework tasks to child. Copying from the blackboard should be minimized.
• Find a homework buddy who can help make sure that homework and books go home. Find someone who can be called when they do not.
• Parents can copy math problems onto work sheet, but the child does the problems.
• Use peer's notes for studying.
• Let your child dictate reports and essays to you or into a dictaphone. Provide a dictaphone for the teacher to listen to the tapes.
• The school can change testing procedures to oral exams or extra time.
• Teach typing/word processing.
