Being in high school now, my son's dysgraphia is causing all sorts of challenges when it comes to algebra and chemistry. Rewriting a chemical equation to balance it takes long, often brings in more mistakes, and is completely demotivating to him.
From a yahoo group for dysgraphia (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dysgraphia), I found out about this software to make writing math equations, drawing graphs, doing chemical equations and chemical structures much easier:
http://www.efofex.com/
I just downloaded it and it integrates completely into Word. Click on the add-in, type in chemical equations and it automatically formats to subscripts, arrows, superscripts, etc. Amazing! The graphs, math, and chemical structures also are extremely easy to integrate into a Word document.
To get an annual subscription of the entire program (math, drawing, chemistry), it's approximately $150 US per year but with proof of special needs (letter from a school or, for homeschoolers, qualified test results showing learning challenges -- that we have), my son can download it and use it for personal use free for 10 years.
Extremely cool!
