Thank you Sarah. This is such a hot topic. For exams to be typed schools need to be teaching typing as it is a skill that requires accuracy and speed. We also need equity amongst all schools so that at a specific time of day/date when an exam is held all students across the country can access the exam paper and type at the same time. I definitely would like to see this happen sooner rather than later for our &#039;heavy&#039; writing subjects. I know the National Handwriting Association has concerns regarding typing in exams because research says that handwriting helps us to retain information better than typing. I think for now it is a &#039;watch this space&#039; scenario.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://helpwithhandwriting.co.uk/hypermobility/#comment-1983&quot;&gt;Sarah Ryan&lt;/a&gt;.

This maybe because it is coinciding with an increase in handwriting expectations at his school. At this age education moves away from teaching &#039;how&#039; to write and concentrates more on &#039;what&#039; to write. He may be holding his pen tighter as he is concentrating on getting his thoughts down onto the paper. I would get him to try different pen and pencil styles. There are some really good ergonomically styled pencils that can reduce the need to grip so tightly. If he is writing in pen, I would avoid using a biro as this needs more muscle pressure placed not eh paper to push the ink out. He may find a rollerball or fountain pen more comfortable.]]></description>

Yes, I totally agree there are different types of hypermobility. Ehlers-Danlos affects people in many different ways, many have far greater issues than being able to hold a pen. I always advocate to see your GP and the NHS website is a good source of information too.]]></description>
