The dysgraphia is a problem with print, anyway. We just didn't gel wtih this particular program. We're jumping into cursive because it's supposed to be easier for kids with dysgraphia (no stop/starting the way print does). I just haven't found aprogram that I like, yet. We've just been playing around with doing connected circles and waves and peaks, etc. so far - practicing those movements.

Plus my son is a perfectionist - if he can't do it perfectly the first time, he just doesn't want to do it - and handwriting has been our BIG #1 issue since homeschooling - which also plays into why we didn't gel with this program. However, it is one of the most popular programs used by homeschoolers, and it was written, initially, to help those having problems with writing.
