In this issue of "NetNews," the focus is on dysgraphia, a form of writing disability. Both dyslexia and dysgraphia fall under the category of specific learning disability. They may be related because significant language processing problems can impact both reading and spelling--although there is less incidence of dysgraphia. Dysgraphia specifically impacts spelling and writing because the basic prerequisite skills for motor movement and letter formation are inefficient. This causes an energy drain that may greatly interfere with the overall writing process. Purposeful assessment that determines writing breakdowns, meaningful instruction and practice, and appropriate accommodations or assistive devices are the tools for remediating dysgraphia. Topics covered in this issue include: (1) Dysgraphia Defined; (2) Improving Basic Writing; (3) Improving Written Expression; (4) Accommodating Dysgraphia; and (5) GED & What's Next.
