Dysgraphia is a brain based issue that causes trouble with written expression. The term originated from the Greek words dys (“impaired”) and graphia (“making letter forms by hand”). It’s not the result of laziness. For children with dysgraphia, holding a pencil and organizing the letters on a line is difficult. Their handwriting tends to be quite messy. Many children even struggle with spelling and putting thoughts on paper. Many people who are dysgraphic experience pain while they are writing. It usually starts in the center of the forearm and then spreads along the nervous system. This pain gets worse or even appears when a dysgraphic is stressed.
