My Husband has Dysgraphia. He was diagnosed as Junior in High School.
southern bell said:Honestly, by the time he was diagnosed he had learned to compensate in other ways. If it has been discovered in a "younger" child, arrangements can be made so he/she is provided a laptop which will help with spelling and writing. I know it can be difficult to get information on dygraphia but there really isn't much known about this disorder.

Geek said:What is Dysgraphia?
Dysgraphia is a neurological disorder characterized by writing disabilities. Specifically, the disorder causes a person's writing to be distorted or incorrect. In children, the disorder generally emerges when they are first introduced to writing. They make inappropriately sized and spaced letters, or write wrong or misspelled words, despite thorough instruction. Children with the disorder may have other learning disabilities, however, they usually have no social or other academic problems. Cases of dysgraphia in adults generally occur after some trauma. In addition to poor handwriting, dysgraphia is characterized by wrong or odd spelling, and production of words that are not correct (i.e., using "boy" for "child"). The cause of the disorder is unknown.
