[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 440175, member: 11791"] There's two kinds of Dysgraphia... can be one, or the other, or both. 1) Difficulty with the mechanics of writing is a motor-skills issue, not techncially a learning disability. In these cases, technology is a HUGE help - takes most of the mechanics out of the equation. (see [URL="http://www.canchild.ca"]www.canchild.ca[/URL] ) If technology solves most/all of the problem, then the next statement does not apply. 2) Difficulty with producing written output - with or without technology - is a learning disability. Technology might be PART of the solution, but other accommodations are also needed... like oral exams and other non-written results for assignments. 3) Both 1) and 2) can exist at the same time, making it hard to tell which problem to try to solve first. 4) Spending too many years trying to deal with 1) can [U]cause[/U] 2)... If you don't learn the progressive layers of composition etc. because you can't make your pencil work, then you don't learn the skill of generating written output... in this case, it's an acquired disability, and can be overcome but takes huge efforts (plus technology) to learn the missing skills.
