Dyslexia dysgraphia is a type of dyslexia and a person affected with it has difficulty writing properly. School children suffering from dyslexia dysgraphia may be proficient in reading, but they will find it difficult to write the alphabets and words correctly. This does not indicate intellectual impairment in any form.

The common symptoms of dyslexia dysgraphia are uneven and inconsistent letters, illegible writing, uppercase and lowercase letters are combined incorrectly, incomplete writing tasks. The child struggles while attempting to write and is unable to write certain words. There is a lacuna in the child’s fine motor activity, and sometimes he cannot tie his shoe laces and feels frustrated because of it.

Dyslexia dysgraphia belongs to three categories:
# Motor dysgraphia arises from improper motor and muscle functioning and impaired dexterity. The child finds it difficult to write and it is mostly illegible but there are less of spelling mistakes.
# Dyslexic dysgraphia: there are a lot of spelling mistakes, and the handwriting is illegible.
# Spatial dysgraphia: the spacing of the written words is all messy.
Children will show the signals of dyslexia dysgraphia right from the time of their primary writing lessons, and parents should take remedial steps immediately.
The parents should understand clearly that dyslexia dysgraphia is only a writing deficiency, the result of a neurological dysfunction from some specific or non specific origin. While it results in poor handwriting, distorted writing scripts and mis-spelt words, it has nothing to do with the child’s intellectual abilities.
