Dysgraphia
Struggles To Write Legibly And Perform Handwriting Tasks
Dysgraphia is a learning disability associated with the nervous system that affects the fine motor skills required to write. Children with dysgraphia struggle with handwriting tasks and other assignments, such as forming letters, spelling words, and word spacing. Often, the action of creating letters requires so much effort that a child with dysgraphia forgets what they wanted to say in the first place.
People with dysgraphia may also have trouble with other fine motor skills, such as tying shoes or buttoning shirts. Many also struggle with gross motor skills, such as riding a bike or playing catch.
Symptoms Of Dysgraphia
- Trouble spacing words or forming letters consistently
- Painful or awkward grip on a pencil
- Difficulty staying within margins and lines
- Difficulty with sentence structure or following the basic to the rules of grammar when writing
- Difficulty expressing or organizing thoughts on paper
