My son has been diagnosed as suffering from disgraphia. That means he has lousy handwriting.

Rather than correct the problem or at least get his skills to reach acceptable levels, he is currently in a special school where everything is done on a keyboard. Unfortunately, that means he will be in real trouble the first time he hits a job application which must be done in person.

In the good old, pre-disability days, I suffered from the same problem. The onus was put on me to provide acceptable product. I did. My handwriting was still lousy but readable.

I am furious and have been for many years that it is acceptable to tell a child that it it acceptable not to work up to his or her capability because it is too much work to overcome a minor problem.
Telling him "it's okay not to work hard because you have a problem" does not in any way prepare him for either college or the workforce.
