Dysgraphia
Dysgraphia
is difficulty with handwriting.There are several different kinds of dysgraphia.
Some people with dysgraphia have handwriting that is often illegible and shows
irregular and inconsistent letter formations. Others write legibly, but very
slowly and/or very small. When these individuals revert to printing, as they
often do, their writing is often a random mixture of upper and lowercase letters.
In all cases of dysgraphia, writing requires inordinate amounts of energy,
stamina, and time.Types of Dysgraphia: Dyslexia Dysgraphia: Spontaneously written text is illegible, especially when the text is complex. Oral spelling is poor, but drawing and copying of written text are relatively normal. Finger-taping speed is normal. Motor Dysgraphia: Spontaneously written and copied text may be illegible, oral spelling is normal, and drawing is usually problematic. Finger-tapping speed is abnormal. Spacial Dysgraphia: People that display illegible writing, whether spontaneously produced or copied. Oral spelling is normal. Finger-tapping speed is normal, but drawing is very problematic. |
