AuDHD and chromebook use at school
We just had the end-of-the-year IEP meeting for my AuDHD (grade 3) son.
His lovely teacher mentioned that he struggles with perfectionism with his writing which causes him to complete class assignments very slowly.
The school team suggested allowing more use of a chromebook next year, so that he can complete assignments on a computer rather than by hand.
While I appreciate the proposed accommodation, and can see how this would accomplish the goal of making assignment completion 'easier'... I also worry that having him default to more screen use in the classroom does actually address the issue of his handwriting perfectionism.
Admittedly I am also generally wary of screen use in classrooms/life.. and I wonder if perhaps this is just my screen bias talking.
I would love to hear your thoughts. Is there an angle here that I am not considering? What sort of accommodations would you be advocating for in this situation

To add:: His school has been wonderful, and I have nothing but gratitude for how they've treated and accommodated my son over the years. I have no doubt that if I suggest an alternative accommodation, they will be supportive. I just don't know what that 'alternative' might be!
