Quick Write

Think about a student who is having difficulty with writing. For example, they cannot get their thoughts out on paper and they physically cannot write well due to fine motor issues. What are some strategies that you would look at in the classroom to support these students with writing? Would you use any accommodations, modifications, or any assistive technology for this student?
