DYSGRAPHIA

Difficulties in writting

Dysgraphia is a neurological condition marked by difficulty writing. The condition explicitly causes a person's writing to be twisted or wrong. The issue usually manifests itself when youngsters are initially introduced to writing. Despite comprehensive teaching, they write incorrectly sized and spaced letters or write incorrect or misspelt words. Children with the disease may have other learning challenges, although they typically do not have any social or academic issues. Dysgraphia is distinguished by incorrect or unusual spelling and the generation of incorrect words, in addition to bad handwriting (i.e., using "boy" for "child").
