Dysgraphia Resource Guide

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that makes it hard to organize and write down information. Like dyslexia and dyscalculia, dysgraphia is a spectrum. Some children have a lot of problems while others may go undetected. Experts estimate that writing problems may impact 5-20% of students.

Note: Different experts may use different language to diagnose dysgraphia. Some group all writing difficulties together. Others may use specific diagnoses, like “written expression disorder,” to give more detail. If you’re confused about a diagnosis, it’s a good idea to ask the person who evaluated your child. Part of their role is to make sure you have the information you need to make informed care decisions.
