Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is a learning disorder that usually presents itself around the age of eleven or twelve, perhaps a little earlier in those children who have vivid imaginations. Those who suffer from dysgraphia have a problem with written expression. Studies show that there are actually three different types of dysgraphia. There is Dyslexic Dysgraphia, Motor Dysgraphia, and Spatial Dysgraphia. With dyslexic dysgraphia, anything written on the spur-of-the-moment cannot even be read. If written work is copied from another source, it is fairly legible. Spelling is rather bad with this type of dysgraphia. Motor dysgraphia shows up the lack of fine motor skills. Writing anything more than a few sentences is very painful. A person with Spatial dysgraphia has normal spelling, but very poor handwriting, whether copied or spontaneous. Any type of dysgraphia ia very stressful to the person who suffers from it. Dysgraphia is not outgrown. People who have this problem as a child will also have dysgraphia as an adult.
