Finger Spacing By

Dysgraphia is a deficiency in the ability to write, regardless of the ability to read, not due to intellectual impairment.

Dysgraphia can occur after neurological trauma or it might be diagnosed in a person with Physical Impairments, Tourette Syndrome, AD/HD, Learning Disabilities, or an Autism Spectrum Disorder such as Asperger’s Syndrome.
