Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
It seems that your child may be overwhelmed in the class due to sensory overload. Give him some break during the class where he can do soothing activity like rocking or swinging. Positively re enforce his good behaviour and withhold his favourite activity for not writing.
In none of this works then get a behavioural analysis by the school psychologist as to what is causing his this behaviour and what is maintaining it.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
