Many have heard about dyslexia, but fewer have heard of a specific subset of dyslexia called dysgraphia. This is a handwriting disability that results in irregular mixtures of letter shapes and sizes, upper and lower case letters, and an irregular mixture of print and cursive lettering. According to this video, dysgraphia makes it difficult for those who suffer from this disability to use writing as a means of communication.
There are three types of dysgraphia: dyslexic dysgraphia, when spontaneously written text is illegible; motor dysgraphia, when both spontaneously written and copied text may be illegible; and spatial dysgraphia, characterized with illegible writing whether spontaneously produced or copied. These three main types of this handwriting handicap can cause many issues with handwriting.

Take the dysgraphia test
Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
