What is Dysgraphia?
Dysgraphia is a learning disability that involves difficulty in handwriting. Mostly, children with dysgraphia usually end up writing very slowly, their handwriting may be illegible, and they may make numerous spelling errors because of their inability to match up sounds and letters.
This difficulty may occur due to neurological issues. The child may face difficulty in fine motor activities too like colouring, tracing, holding a pencil, etc.

Why is it important to diagnose?
Writing problems may also be associated with persistent academic struggles and low self-esteem, which can persist in adulthood also. Early detection and identification of such problems, help the child to receive specialised interventions and overcome his or her writing difficulties. This may boost the child’s self-confidence and improves the overall school performance.
