Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing abilities. It can impact skills like handwriting, spelling, and putting thoughts onto paper. Children with dysgraphia may struggle with writing and find it difficult and slow. While there are no definitive tests to diagnose it, parents and teachers can look for signs like trouble holding a pencil correctly, inconsistent spacing, and difficulty organizing ideas in writing. The exact causes are unknown but it is thought to involve problems with how the brain processes and transfers information into written form. Treatment focuses on alternative learning methods tailored to the individual child, such as using different writing tools, graphic organizers, assistive technology, extra time, and recording lessons to improve writing skills.
