Geoff,
Yes, when he "writes" he does use verbs and adjectives correctly. His classroom teacher stated that if a student cannot do the worksheets that they usually are not good writers.
I spoke with the school speech pathologist and she does not think that he would not benefit from 1:1 instruction. She suggested that I continue to work with him at home and to use different colored highlighters for different parts of speech because with his dysgraphia it is hard (and very messy) for him to underline or circle the parts of speech on his own.
As to the issue of spatial thinking, he does have an auditory processing disorder as well. (There is a lot going on with him I did not want to go on and on…)

How would this affect him and where can I learn more about this?
