Living with Dysgraphia
Some people can write better thanks to motor skill training and occupational therapy. Others still find it to be a constant struggle.
Working with your child’s school and teachers to find adjustments that are suitable for this kind of learning disability is crucial if your son or daughter has dysgraphia. Some helpful classroom techniques include:
- a chosen student who takes notes in class
- using a computer to take notes and complete other tasks
- instead of written tests and tasks, use spoken ones
- additional time for assignments and examinations
- the instructor’s printed, recorded, or digitally stored lesson or lecture notes
- pens, pencils, or other writing tools with distinctive grips to facilitate writing
- use of graph or wide-ruled paper
