Dysgraphia Definition
‘Dysgraphia means having severe problems with handwriting, which is associated with extreme difficulty with fine motor skills and/or problems with the speed of processing – in spite of having a normal intellectual ability.’

It is essential to recognise dysgraphia as soon as possible before it impacts a child’s self-esteem. Just as there is no single set of signs characterising dyslexia, there is no one cause of dysgraphia. The earlier dysgraphia is diagnosed, the easier it is to ensure the student receives the correct support at home, school, or the workplace. Although there is no cure for dysgraphia, proper tuition can alleviate these problems.
These difficulties often result in considerable frustration, considering that people with dysgraphia are usually of average intelligence.
