10. That's the thing. He does VERY well in school, except for his handwriting.
A low grade in that kept him off the Honor Roll this past semester. He does read and write (actually in two languages...he is in an immersion program where he spends 90% of his school day completely in Italian).

It would break my heart if he suffered any limitations because of this. I am hoping so intensely that he gets the help he obviously needs...
