Woohoo. Workable solution from the school. Was getting very frustrated with their ridiculous system where she was not entitled to any allowances for significant difficulties with handwriting & spelling because she's well ahead with maths, science & tech.

But the phone call said enough teachers have now said they simply can't mark her work because they can't read it, that they've accepted that a bright student is going to fail when she's got the knowledge unless they do something.

progress at least, shame it took this long. I always struggled with handwriting, well actually I still can't write tbh.. but it's not through lack of practise.. I can't read anything I wrote at school now, god knows how my teachers marked it

She has poor fine motor skills generally. She can't hold a knife and fork properly. Laces are never going to happen. Only just managed buttons.
-
That doesn't sound fun, can she type ok?
-
Yes, absolutely fine! Speedy two-finger typist!
-
She'll be fine post school then :) If a little shabbily dressed...
