Writing requires complex skills that involve vision, movement and the ability to process information. A learning disorder in writing, also called dysgraphia, may cause the following:
- Slow handwriting that takes a lot of work.
- Trouble recalling how to form letters, copy shapes and draw lines.
- Handwriting that's hard to read.
- Trouble putting thoughts into writing.
- Written text that's poorly organized or hard to understand.
- Trouble with spelling, grammar and punctuation.
