Dysgraphia and Written Language - Mrs. Carol Clark

Students often struggle with writing. Is it because of the act of forming letters, the organization of ideas, the spelling of words, the lack of vocabulary, or the inability to attend to the task? These are only a few of the requirements necessary for successful writing. Attend and learn about dysgraphia (a disorganization in the processes necessary to write.)
