Understanding

Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is a condition rooted in the brain that leads to difficulties in writing and spelling. Dysgraphia is often overlooked or attributed to laziness, lack of motivation, carelessness, or delayed visual and motor processing (Berninger and Wolf, 2009).

You are taking the first step by identifying your child’s dysgraphia symptoms. Dysgraphia treatment can be tailored to each child’s age, symptoms, and unique factors. A skilled structured literacy therapist will break down the various writing skills into manageable components, teaching them one at a time. This approach aims to prevent overwhelm and frustration, offering a path towards effective writing.

Finding Help for Dysgraphia in Children

If this dysgraphia test shows a risk for dysgraphia, you will get access to a free 15-minute consultation with one of our dysgraphia therapists who can offer you a more thorough analysis of your child’s writing.

Testimonial image

“My son is Dyslexic, has Dysgraphia and ADHD, and year over year the interventions he was receiving at school weren’t helping him…

I highly recommend Lexercise to any family who is looking for a reading program that works and a therapist who cares. It is well worth the investment in your child’s future. I highly recommend jumping in early when you first realize your child is struggling; I wish I could go back and do it over. However, I’m also an example of the fact that it’s never too late to get your child the help they need to be successful academically.”

Ashley C, Lexercise Parent
