With over 24 muscles in the hand and fingers, these muscles must be developed appropriately. Dysgraphia refers specifically to the failure to perform handwriting operations. It could be described as an extreme difficulty with fine motor skills, which is why it is so important to strengthen these muscles.
Fine motor skills are essential for good writing. Students with dysgraphia may have problems with the simplest writing tasks; their handwriting will barely be legible; the report will appear incorrect or distorted, and letters of different sizes and different size spaces between letters. Students have particular difficulties following a straight line and keeping to a margin. Students with dysgraphia find it particularly painful when writing by hand.
Research shows that some students with dysgraphia can overcome their problems with proper training.
