Thanks. I think I'm gonna get one for .

She just told me last night -

She is now taking a keyboarding class. She is getting yelled at every day

because she can't sit the way the teacher wants her to. She says it hurts too

much.

So, I asked her questions from that survey you sent to the board. She is having

problems with almost everything on it!

Especially, she say, with writing. She can only write for a few minutes before

her hands cramp up. I remember this happening to me when I was in school, from

a very young age. I remember in 5th grade, I had to write a hand-written report

which was suppose to be 100 pages long (I had a very difficult teacher that

year!), and I couldn't do it. I could only get out about 8 pages.

Anyway, Those articles you posted are very helpful for me. 's counselor

is working on a 504 for her, and it helps so I know what should be included in

them.

I heard somwhere that she may be able to get the school to issue her a lap top,

so she won't have to write anything. That would be very helpful.

It's funny, how she doesn't tell me things. I knew her writing was messy, no

matter how hard she tries to make it neet. But, I didn't know it was because

her hands cramp up when she writes.

Hopefully I'll get to meet with her counselor next week. It's a busy time,

cause they are registering all the 9th graders for high school now. I'll

definetly write to her keyboarding teacher on monday to " BACK OFF! "

But, I can't be too upset at the teacher, cause just started with her,

and she doesn't know.
