Exploring Dysgraphias: Detecting and Understanding Them Through Writing


When we talk about dysgraphia, we often forget that there are several different types of dysgraphia that children and adolescents can develop or have.


These dysgraphias can appear even at different stages of life, including adulthood, without the individual having previously experienced them, such as emotional dysgraphia. However, it is usual for their origin to be rooted in the early stages of a child's developmental evolution, and their causes can be multiple, such as a defective visual system, having very active primitive reflexes, presenting damage in the neuromotor areas of the brain, or simply having high abilities.


From Paidography, a branch of Graphopsychology or Psychology of Writing that is responsible for investigating and studying the writing of children and adolescents, we can identify the different types of dysgraphia and offer a re-educational graphomotor and emotional therapy for some of these dysgraphic typologies.
