Problems with writing can be the result of a myriad of different things. Children have to be capable developmentally, physically, and mentally. A student must learn how to hold a pencil and develop the fine motor skills to write fluidly. They must also understand how to form each individual letter before learning to connect those letters to make words and finally stringing words together to make sentences. After all of that, students must also master the grammar rules necessary to clearly communicate their thoughts in writing. As you can see, there are many areas that could prove challenging on a child’s journey of learning to write.

In this blog, we will dive into understanding dysgraphia, a unique difficulty with writing that impairs children’s ability to express themselves clearly through the written word.

Does your child avoid certain academic tasks? Do they become frustrated (and maybe even throw a tantrum!) when forced to complete homework?

If this sounds like your child, it’s possible that they could be struggling with a Learning Disorder. A Learning Disorder is a diagnosable condition that indicates that a child’s brain is wired differently than the typical student upon which the school’s curriculum is developed.
