Who Is at Risk for Dysgraphia?
Researchers are still figuring out why some kids struggle with learning difficulties like dysgraphia. Learning difficulties are frequently inherited or linked to prenatal development, such as premature birth.
Children with dysgraphia may have additional learning difficulties. The likelihood of dysgraphia, for instance, may increase if a person has attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). [3] That’s because reading and writing skills are both intimately related to attention.
Dyslexia [4] (reading difficulties) and the oral and written language (OWL) learning disability are two additional learning disabilities connected to dysgraphia. OWL symptoms include difficulties recalling words and difficulty arranging words in a phrase correctly.
