Son #1 has ADHD with anxiety, Dysgraphia (deficiency in the ability to write, regardless of the ability to read, not due to intellectual impairment) and is gifted. The term twice exceptional, often abbreviated as 2e, is commonly applied to high-ability children who have learning difficulties. It refers to the fact that these children are exceptional both because of their intellectual gifts and because of their special needs.
He is in 4th grade at the public elementary school and on a 504 plan, receiving OT twice a week for handwriting help.
Son #2 has Dyspraxia (motor learning difficulty that can affect planning of movements and co-ordination), also known as Developmental Coordination Disorder, along with visual processing problems. I also suspect auditory processing problems, but he is too young to be tested for that right now.
He is in the 1st grade at the public elementary school and just transitioned from a 504 plan to an IEP where he receives both OT and PT twice a week each, along with classroom accomodations.
