Hello,

Because dysgraphia is a neurological disorder, I suggest that you discuss your concerns with your child's pediatrician, who may refer you to a neurologist. I'm including some information below that you may also find helpful.

Thank you for asking!

I have been working to help my son with his writing problem since he began pre-school. I held him back in Kindergarten in hopes that he would catch up. He is now in fourth grade and is ten years old. His writing has barely improved from pre-school. I believe that he is disgraphic, however, the school system in Florida does not acknowledge dislexia or disgraphia. His i.q. is above normal yet he is failing. He has given up in the classroom and cries daily before he leaves for school. He comes home with all F's. because he can not write. Verbally, he can answer easily, his anxiety and depression has gotten so much worse due to this condition and it gets worse as other children keep progressing and moving faster and your child is completely left behind. If you believe that your child is disgraphic and you can afford to have her tested, do it ASAP! It does not get better.
Good luck.
