Dysgraphia

Introduction

Like with dyslexia, there is the problem of defining the subjects with a disorder of writing. First we find children who show difficulty writing words with good oral expression, and second, children who misspell words and have difficulty speaking, and, thirdly, children writing words correctly and who have difficulty speaking.

The problems with writing can occur at two levels: writing words or writing, composition, alluding to problems in higher levels of organization of ideas for written composition. These difficulties in the writing of words may be caused by problems in phonological routes (indirect route, not lexical, which uses phoneme-grapheme correspondence to get to the written word) in unfamiliar words or lexical routes (called spelling also direct or visual, using the lexical store checker, which are stored orthographic representations of words previously processed).

In writing, problems can be caused by the inability to generate ideas, organize them coherently or write using correct grammar. Finally motor problems may arise due to poor motor coordination that prevents the execution of fine movements, or problems with motor programs responsible for carrying letters.

Scripture is therefore very complex behaviour in which different processes and mental structures, but also emotional factors. This complexity has led to the use of different names to group the various manifestations of the disorder but keep a close relationship between them (Berninger, pp. 1-240).

Thesis statement

The paper discusses about the Dysgraphia, and how measures should be taken to reduce this problem.

Forms of Dysgraphia

There are three main forms of Dysgraphia. They are:

Spatial Dysgraphia - This kind of Dysgraphia is evidenced by illegible writing even when you copy the work, but you have normal spelling skills.

Motor Dysgraphia - This type of Dysgraphia is marked by poor muscle tone, poor dexterity, and a deficit in fine motor skills.

Dyslexic Dysgraphia - This form of Dysgraphia is characterized by the first draft of a paper being illegible, but copied work is acceptable and there are poor spelling skills.

Argument

Although many people have heard about reading disabilities such as dyslexia, many are not aware of writing disabilities. Unfortunately, writing disorders are just as common as reading disabilities and are more likely to affect boys. Thus, Not only is dyslexic Dysgraphia a form of Dysgraphia, it is also a type of dyslexia. Dyslexia is impairment in your brain's ability to translate written images that are received by your eyes into meaningful language. Dyslexia is a learning disability that may hinder your ability to read, write, spell and sometimes speak

Dysgraphia and Dysorthography

It is used to designate the writing disorder that affects the form or content and show children without intellectual problems, neurological, sensory, motor, affective or social.

As Dysgraphia characteristics refer to two types of symptoms. The first, called secondary signs global include poor posture, improper support tool (pencil, pen, etc) or bad pressure in the write speed too fast or slow. Furthermore, specific symptoms, put your attention on graphic elements such as oversized own letters, slanted letters, deformed, excessive spacing between letters or too crowded, improper links between graphemes, letters ...
