What I've Found

unedted: in my last post i said ive been doing some reseach here is a little of what ive found i would really apperacte it if you take what i put here and make your own opyons and try to verify it on your own and if you want to share what you find with me i would think that is the coolest thing ever.

these are a list of symptoms i found on the website : http://www.dyslexiaa2z.com/learning_difficulties/dysgraphia/dysgraphia_checklist.html
the ones that are highlighted are my personal symptoms:


checklist on dysgraphia

* Written text very poor considering language development.
* Poor motor control.
* Writing that is almost impossible to read.
* Mixture of printing and cursive writing on the same line.
* Writes in all directions, i.e. right slant then left slant.
* Big and small spaces between words.
* Different sized letters on the same line.
* Mixes up capital letters and lower case letters on the same line.
* Abnormal and irregular formation of letters.
* Very slow writing.
* Very slow copying from board.
* Does not follow margins.
* Grips the pen too tight and with a ‘fist grip’.
* Holds pen very low down so fingers almost touches the paper.
* Watches hand intently whilst actually writing.
* Poor spelling.
* Bizarre spelling.
* Problems with spelling wrong words i.e., ‘brot’ for brought and ‘stayshun’ for station.
* Problems with spelling words such as i.e. drink as ‘brink’.

i have found that there are sub types of dysgraphia
from the same sight these are the differented types highlighted are the things that apply to me personaly.


1. Dyslexic Dysgraphia
In 'Dyslexic Dysgraphia', spontaneously written text is illegible, especially when the text is complex. Oral spelling is poor, but drawing and copying of written text are relatively normal. Finger-tapping speed (a measure of fine-motor speed) is normal.

2. Motor Dysgraphia
In 'Motor Dysgraphia', both spontaneously written and copied text may be illegible, oral spelling is normal, and drawing is usually problematic. Finger-tapping speed is abnormal.

3. spatial Dysgraphia
In 'Spatial Dysgraphia', people display illegible writing, whether spontaneously produced or copied. Oral spelling is normal. Finger-tapping speed is normal, but drawing is very problematic.

Phonological Dysgraphia
  1. **Phonological dysgraphia - writing words as a pure 'sound' spelling which is incorrect e.g. writing 'brought' as 'brot' or 'station' as 'stayshun'.

 

Visual Dysgraphia
  1. **Visual dysgraphia -writing words, which are correctly spelt apart from some letters being reversed, e.g. 'drink' as 'brink' or the bizarre or abnormal
  2. and irregular formation of letters. They may sometimes look fine but they have been produced in an abnormal order of pen strokes.

Edited: In my last post I said that I've been doing some research. Below is a little of what I've found; I would really apperacte it if you take what I put here, make your own opinions, and try to verify it on your own. If you want to share what you find with me, I would think that is the coolest thing ever.
