Other Effects of Dysgraphia
Dysgraphiacs frequently have problems focusing on other tasks while writing. Because so much focus is being paid to writing down every word, it might be challenging to take notes during class or a meeting. There could be other things said that are missed.
Because of their sloppy handwriting, students with dysgraphia may also be accused of being sloppy or sluggish. This may lower one’s sense of self-worth and cause worry, a lack of self-assurance, and unfavorable attitudes toward learning.
Causes of Dysgraphia
Typically, an issue with orthographic coding [1] causes dysgraphia to manifest in childhood. It is possible to permanently remember written words and the movements your hands or fingers must make in order to write those words, thanks to this component of working memory.
When they write sentences, words, or even individual letters, dysgraphic children or adults find it more difficult to plan and carry out their writing. You can read, spell, and recognize letters and words, so it’s not like you lack these skills. Instead, you have issues with how your brain interprets written language.
Adults who develop dysgraphia typically do so as a result of a stroke [2] or another type of brain injury. Dysgraphia may result from damage to the left parietal lobe of the brain in particular. The upper region of your brain contains the right and left parietal lobes. Each is linked to a variety of abilities, including reading and writing, as well as sensory processing, which includes pain, heat, and cold.
