We've recently moved our son from a private school with tiny classes and lots of individual attention to the public schools. He's a bright kid, but in fifth grade is writing at a second grade level. We have our 504 meeting this week. He continues to get private tutoring in Orton-Gillingham methods. What are the best assistive technologies to get for him? What do people say about the "Reading Pen?" Which is the best? What about writing tools? Word-completion software? Dragon voice recognition? Please help. We haven't found any local or unbiased info. Thank you!
