Understanding Dysgraphia:

Dysgraphia is a common learning difficulty that affects handwriting abilities. It can manifest as difficulties with handwriting, spelling, and organizing thoughts on paper.

This specific learning difficulty characterized by difficulties in handwriting, has been the subject of various studies in India. Research indicates that the prevalence of SLDs, including dysgraphia, varies across different regions and populations.

Key Signs of Dysgraphia in Children :

1. Handwriting Issues

• Messy, illegible handwriting
• Inconsistent letter sizes and spacing
• Uneven or incorrect letter formation
• Poor or inconsistent handwriting
• Difficulty forming letters and spacing them correctly
• Difficulty keeping writing on the line
