Dysgraphia is a neurological specific learning disability related to difficulties in acquiring writing skills due to under-developed fine motor muscles and lack of coordination skills. There is no cure to it and it is life long problem.
However, with training in attention skills and coordination skills, such children can be turned into visual-verbal learners through special designed micro-learning material rich in visual symbols and training in picture reading. The learning material has to be individualized in terms of cognitive load and pace of learning since two dysgraphic children are same.
