Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing ability, fine motor skills, and information processing skills. This particular disability can manifest itself in a variety of ways in people of all ages. In all cases of dysgraphia, writing takes copious amounts of energy and focus. Unfortunately, many parents ignore the potential signs of their child having a learning disability, preferring to remain in denial. However, it is much more dangerous to ignore the signs rather than face them head on, especially because the strain of overcoming such a difficult hurdle in your child's life will take patience, understanding, discipline, and a high level of encouragement. This book is designed to help you move forward in identifying and accommodating your child's learning needs, one step at a time.

In Dysgraphia: More than Bad Handwriting, the author shares some of her personal experiences and observations about dysgraphia and advocating for her two children with dysgraphia. She also obtained comment from one of her children as to how it feels to have dysgraphia and being told to try harder is not the answer.
"Preface: The purpose of this book is to discuss the social, educational, and emotional world of children with dysgraphia, the inability to write legibly.
