Ep. 47 Four Types of Dysgraphia Every Parent and Educator Should Know
Dysgraphia is a neurological condition that affects writing abilities and fine motor skills. This condition of a student or a child leads them to struggle in putting their thoughts into words on paper. We all know that many school assignments involve writing, and Dysgraphia can cause problems for students in meeting the school's curriculum. The estimated occurrence of children with Dysgraphia in some form is 4-20% of the population.
In this episode, I talk about what Dysgraphia is and how it impacts a child's ability to write effectively and efficiently. I also discuss the primary signs and symptoms of Dysgraphia and the significance of educating ourselves about it, as it is often misunderstood or misdiagnosed. Lastly, I shared the four types of Dysgraphia and what it looks like for children or adults.

Ep. 48 Signs and Symptoms of Linguistic Dysgraphia from K-Adulthood
Writing is essential in every person's life, as it is a complex task vital for our learning, and it is usually acquired in the early years of life. Becoming a strong writer takes time and needs to be taught explicitly. However, dysgraphia, a learning disorder in written expression, can present with different symptoms at different developmental stages.
In this episode, I discuss the signs and symptoms of linguistic dysgraphia in every developmental stage of a person, as it may vary at every stage. For grades K to two, a child may have trouble labeling pictures with a few words, or they will write sentences that are hard to understand. For grades three to five, they will need help with organization and content for different forms of writing, while middle schoolers might struggle with minor errors. However, it's important to note that dysgraphia is not related to intelligence, and individuals with dysgraphia may have strengths in other areas, such as verbal communication or problem-solving.
