I just saw you on Good Morning America and your story touched my heart. You are an amazing young man! If more of us lived by your motto that "It's not all about me," the world would be a better place. You truly are an inspiration! =) Hey Michael!

My seven year old son has dysgrahia. He has made great stides with OT but we quit last summer. It seemed that we were at an impass. He can write in cursive ok but still receives a n- on his report card. I am just happy that you can read it. It struggles with it daily. One thing that has really helped to ease the muscle cramping in playing the piano. This exercise has helped him in a joyful way. Once you learn to read the music it is passive therapy just like typing. Do you have a typing program that is easy for kids to learn that you recommend. He reads on a second to third grade level. He is in the first grade. His name is Chase and we live in Virginia. Thank you, You are inspirational, Kelly Crider Dear Michael:

I am a pediatric occupational therapist and have a special part of my practice called Computer Campus. We help kids just like you who are really smart but have a tough time with handwriting. I'd love to hear more about the keyboarding and other computer programs that you use when you tutor kids with other learning challenges. We use something that is great called "Keyboard Coach" It teaches keyboarding in a multisensory way. We also do help kids with handwriting and make that easier. I bet you could even get some relief with some of our techniques. Anyway--lots of luck and let me know if there are things you would like me to do at Pediatric Potentials to spread the word.
