Warning Signs Of Dysgraphia

As previously stated, unclear or irregular handwriting is a strong indication of dysgraphia if the other symptoms are also present. For others students, it may be due to a lack of fine-motor function, poor grip, or poor spatial sequencing. The rapid finger tapping test should be used to determine whether it is related to fine-motor-skill capacity. The reason may be unclear in other cases, and the student may simply have a learning disability making it difficult to comprehend the information or to process a coherent translation of it. Using lined paper, having students make rough drafts they improve upon for clarity, and using different pens or pencils can all be effective methods of retraining the processes.

Frequent Erasing

Students who exhibit frequent erasing are likely suffering from dysgraphia, a similar condition, or a concentration issue, such as attention deficit disorder. They are getting mixed up on what type of information needs to be written at any given time and may have attention deficit. Treatments are available for a condition like ADD that help slow down the overactive thought processes that lead to difficulties in concentration and short-term memory problems. A person who has severe ADD may forget what a letter is about by the time they get to the end of reading it. It can actually hurt to think and, as a result, cause children to look for behavioral excuses to avoid applying themselves to the curriculum. Attention deficit disorder treatments are key to keep in mind here, as they have been used to treat dysgraphia as well, especially when the two conditions coincide.
