What is Dysgraphia?

Dysgraphia is a learning difficulty that affects writing abilities. It can manifest as difficulties with handwriting, spelling, and organizing thoughts on paper. People with dysgraphia may struggle to express their thoughts in written form despite having good verbal skills.

Dysgraphia is not related to intelligence - many people with dysgraphia are highly intelligent and creative. It is a neurological difference that affects how the brain processes written language and fine motor skills involved in writing.

About This Screening

This screening covers key areas often affected by dysgraphia including handwriting mechanics, spelling and encoding, organization and planning, and fine motor skills.

This screening test is for educational and self-reflection purposes only. It is not a diagnostic tool. A formal diagnosis of dysgraphia requires comprehensive assessment by a qualified educational psychologist or specialist. If you have concerns about your learning or work performance, please consult a professional.
