Dysgraphia, ADHD and Autism The Journal of Attention Disorders published research on the prevalence of dysgraphia by age across all grade levels was determined in students with ADHD or autism. Previous research indicates that children with ADHD and autism show poorer handwriting quality (e.g., legibility, letter formation, alignment, spacing, and sizing) and reduced handwriting speed. This study included 1034 children with normal intelligence and ADHD–Combined, ADHD–Inattentive, or autism. Each participant completed the Developmental Test of Visual-Motor Integration (VMI) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). The results indicated the following: VMI and WISC Coding scores were significantly lower than IQ and the normal mean of 100 for all diagnoses. 59% had dysgraphia 92% had a weakness in graphomotor ability relative to other abilities. the prevalence of dysgraphia did not decrease with age or diagnosis, despite older children having up to 10 years more writing instruction in school than younger children. The authors concluded that dysgraphia is common at all ages in children and adolescents with ADHD and autism. this research indicates that dysgraphia is difficult to remediate and is present at all ages, schools should focus on compensating for dysgraphia with accommodations for in addition to trying to improve handwriting. Technology may be helpful such as keyboarding, word processing and/or speech recognition software. In addition to using technology, based on each individual student’s needs try modifying the following regarding the workload at school: decrease the amount of written work, provide notes and outlines instead of requiring copying, offer multiple choice answers, allow dictation or do not penalize for messy handwriting.

Staying organized seems to be a constant battle, but a total necessity to keep my sanity. As a traveling therapist, I have become pretty good at collecting piles of "stuff." Therapy notes, receipts, data sheets... oh my! Keeping client information and therapy plans in order is a must. I wanted to share with you how I organize my therapy binder and what works for me. This post contains Amazon Affiliate links for your convenience. This means if you purchase something from my link, I may make a small commission. First things first. Let's be real, a pretty binder cover is a must. It's something you look at daily, multiple times a day at that. So why not make it something you enjoy looking at? I frequently make new binder covers, but the ones I am currently rocking are tropical. I am totally into pineapples and flamingos right now. You can download the binder covers I am currently using, here! They are editable! When you open the binder, the first thing you see are 2 clear pocket folders. I use one to stash receipts. The other one I use to keep copies of important documents that are often requested by the schools I go into to see students. I usually keep a copy of my professional liability insurance, my state SLP license, and driver's license.You never know when you may need that and it's nice to have copies on hand. I do not remember where I got my exact folders from (most likely Target) but here are similar ones on Amazon. Next I keep a copy of Speech Musings' data cheat sheet, The Speech Bubble's Quick Reference Chart, and the Speech Sound Development chart from Mommy Speech Therapy in page protectors. All have come in handy more times than I can count. I love having the speech sound development chart handy for teachers and parents that are concerned about their child's articulation. It's a very easy way to explain what sounds are still developing and what they should have mastered. Also in page protectors is a copy of my schedule and a Plan of Care list of due dates. Insurance companies requires a new evaluation and report every 6 months, so I like to keep a list handy of expiration dates so I don't miss one! All of my quick reference and go-to forms are in the front of the binder. In the back is where I keep all my student information. I use pocket dividers to keep all their information in. I'm obsessed with these pocket dividers. (Maybe it's a pocket thing, I love dresses wit pockets, too!) You can snag some similar ones, here. In each student's section, I keep a copy of their goals, their Soap Notes, and my therapy plans. That's it! This is what works for me. I would LOVE to hear what works for you because I feel like this an every evolving project. Happy organizing!
