Another option would be the SnapType app on ipad. You take a photo and then place a cursor to type on the page. You can then print it out to turn it in for class.

We started Barton with ds at age 7. He goes to a tutor for this 4 times per week now, and I do bits and pieces to reinforce what they cover on the other days. He was diagnosed with dyslexia at age 7. We took him out of public school mid- way through second grade and started Barton right when we started homeschooling. It has been about 1 1/2 year now and he is a little more than halfway through level 4. We are planning to complete all the levels. He is not really reading outside the tutoring, since he is not yet through level 4. Still not enjoying reading yet, though his decoding has improved a lot and fluency has also improved. He loves being read to, and audiobooks. He did LIPS for about 3 months twice a week with an ed therapist before starting Barton.

For NP eval, I would consider Summit Center in Walnut Creek. We had a good experience there. They have a lot of experience with gifted and 2e kids. I have also heard good things about Dr. Carina Grandison.

We are using the Logic of English Rhythm of Handwriting cursive program, and it is going fairly well.
