Jeremiah's school work and his ability to learn and express what he is learning has always been something that has been a real struggle for us. Koolen DeVries Syndrome comes with global mental delays and permanent mental challenges in a lot of areas.
I think we are finally figuring out where and how to help Jeremiah with his school work. He is finally starting to write with a weighted pencil and a post-it note per letter. The weight from the pencil seems to help keep his hand on the page and from going everywhere at once and the post-it gives his eye a good space that is different from the white worksheet in which to write each letter or number.
His assessments also went really well the last time they were done because he had a scribe for everything they weren't testing handwriting for. I was blown away with the results his teacher showed us. I think post-it squares and that new pencil weight just became my best friends. At least when it comes to school and home work time.
