Thank you. Why you dont have more subscribers is beyond me. I am watching your video after someone mentioned this on a Taylor Swift thread before of how she holds her pen. My handwriting sucks and i hold my pen between my index and middle finger, even after years of trying to have nice handwriting.
This is going to help my child a lot..thank you so much..my son has multitrigger allergy...he was good in writing upto the age of 6...then he started having severe allergies and that is when his writing deteriorated
Thank God. My daughter must be having this problem i guess. Actually, she was a brilliant child. When her interest spark with art n painting, we allowed her to used colors which causes her allergies in her right fingers. After that her handwriting worsen. Slowly she lost interest in writing after the age of 8 years. I thought she was lazy. But now i realized it must be this problem. She is not taking notes in the classes. Thank u very much. I m little relief.
for other moms just in case it helps... cursive seems to be much easier for dysgraphic kids. also typing... mine has visual processing too and I put her on fb messenger at 7.5 so she could just write me inbox. She quit freaking out and fighting me, and started trying to figure out what I would write her inbox. and then would use google to spell things back to me. It helped her learn to read so much better AND to be able to text/ type things to me as well. I'd say leaps of progress just from that. She used to have a complete and total meltdown if I asker her to read short stuff like: the cat ran. OR if I asked her to copy a word on paper or write a 3 word sentence... so perhaps that might help a bit?
Thank you for this! I’m just starting to learn about dysgraphia after having repetitive days of struggling in third grade homeschool with my son. I plan on going to your website!
It’s interesting because my Dysgraphic son (8 now) was so physical as a baby/toddler, fast moving about, quiet early to crawl and walk but as soon as he got to the age of needing to fine tune it, he couldn’t do things like skipping, or hand ball coordination, and anything that needed extra coordination. He hated arts and crafts(now we know why!) and now at 8 he’s still struggling to write and barely even wants to try, I am trying everything though, we do lots of fine motor strengthening and at school too. But he still hates it 😔 recently had him full alleged tested!
I just learned this word a week or so ago and it’s helping me to understand a lot about my life. I definitely have it…This is why I have convinced myself that I was just a moron who had taught himself to sound intelligent to other morons by listening to smart people speak for years.
Interesting video and realised how diet has been effective looking back. Moved overseas. No processed food, reduced milk, reduced cookies/sugars,only fresh made from scratch lunch and dinners…180 degree turn with my son. Useful for parents who don’t want meds
What meal plans, meal preps, do you recommend? What foods do we stay away from besides fast food, artificial flavors, boxed foods, sodas. Juice?? I don't know how to help my daughter
Hi I'm 34 and was diagnosed with dysgraphia when I was 14 which has made the education system pretty tough for me although I have managed to complete a few diplomas at college and I'm now starting a degree in music. Your video is very insightful I've never even thought about the connection between nutrition and learning disabilities. I'm actually fully plant based (vegan) but not so much wholefoods plant based I do eat alot of processed foods. I'd love to improve my dysgraphia anyway I can really as it makes things so difficult when it comes to writing. Any advice would be great 🙂
How effective are these cross-lateral exercises if your child had a truncated crawling duration? I'm wondering if they make up for a small- or large- percentage of the lack of the neuro-development that would have come from crawling. I like quantitive data - how much can we expect to gain with these movements? Are there white papers that show results from midline and crawling activities? Thanks
Others have a genius at writing, but can't physically write. Yeah, that phonetic thing still happens to me. I also get letters backward, still, when I'm stressed out. Yep, and that poor motor skills comes out when I'm mowing a lawn, or folding laundry, or doing dishes. People don't understand that, and think I'm capable of blue collar work, but I'm just not. It'd be too dangerous for me to be on rooftops nailing shingles or anything like that. Or doing something like lowering logs down with ropes. It sucks. That's why I'm a writer, though. It's funnily the one thing I can do. Oddly enough. And I have dozens of notebooks filled with handwritten materials. All sloppy, but if I slow down, it's actually neater than most modern kid's handwriting. I had an Alpha Smart. And in High School I had a laptop. Computers are a huge crutch for me, even to this day. It even helps with my ADHD and organizational skills. Lol. Modern technology has good uses. No, you just tell them to practice their writing. I write volumes in notebooks. It can be frustrating, for sure, when the teacher can't read what I wrote, but as far as writing is concerned, it's better to have them write their notes. Though, the skills I received using a laptop through high school--a real help--was good for other areas I struggled with. And in the few college courses I took, the Laptop helped me get A's. It's not genetic. They know what causes it. It's from brain injuries. Like I have it, because I fell off a toilet at four and got a concussion. You're a healer. Nutrition has nothing to do with it. You're just doing that because you believe in them. Practice cured me. But also the positive reward I get from writing. School has a habit of making writing and everything else into a chore. If you want kids to learn, you have to engage them and make it interesting. There's subtle ways to make people enjoy learning, and get them interested in school. Normally that's all that separates a gifted child from one like me, who was a C student. Now, I outperform even PhDs in some subjects. But, that's because I unlocked my genius. I don't have an autoimmune disease, but I go through those cycles, too. I didn't know that was my dysgraphia, though. I think that's just a biorhythm. It's usually worse around the winter, and it gets better at springtime. My dysgraphia doesn't wax and wane, but my attention and productivity do. Some of the stuff you're saying is true. For sure. But, I'm not 100% sure that nutrition has much to do with it. I have good nutrition, and eat healthy foods. It's more the Media and entertainment. The recent influx of iPhones is the whole of the problem. And you're right to be suspicious of technology in the classroom. You are right about that. I think the influx of ADHD and other problems is caused by the Media. I wrote a poem about that, actually. It's on my blog. You can check it out. Basically, Medea is a demon and my hero has to beat her. She gives someone a lust for the world (A Giant's Soul). But, you're smart as a tack, Lorraine. Keep up the good work. I wish my parents had you as an advisor when I was a kid. God bless, Lorraine!
I diagnosed my self 40 years ago not dysiagraphia but problem writing along with Always thinking leave everything till last thing big letters small margins upper lower hated cards didn't like the way it looked on the page punctuation no clue pain in hands was told I would grow out of it, Heart to hide it but they thought I was just lazy, practiced a lot still today can't write like adults ADHD aswell I can smell bull miles away even still people think they can lie but it's obvious
Hmm. Comorbidities do exist though. My daughter is Dysconstella (first person language for dys-constellation an umbrella term that recognizes neurological co comorbidities e.g. a person who is two or more of the following Dyslexic, Dyspraxic, Apraxic, Dyscalculiac, Dysgraphic).
Thank you.

I’m dysgraphic (age 59, though diagnosed at age 17), and cursive has always made things much, much worse.
Brilliant. First person I have heard not just address the problem. Cause is always where we need to start. Thank you so much

Use a stencil. It makes them form the letters properly. Kids like it particularly when it includes pictures along with letters.

Will these recommendations work for adults?
So helpful!! Thank you for sharing!
My 8 year old son has just been diagnosed with Dysgraphia. I'm so worried for him. He is so bright but simply cannot put a word together.
Others have a genius at writing, but can't physically write. Yeah, that phonetic thing still happens to me. I also get letters backward, still, when I'm stressed out.

Is there a specific Test for this? Really struggling with getting help through my child’s school!
Hi. Thanks for this insight. I was wondering if the video on nutrition to help dyslexia will apply for dysgraphia?
Thanks
I am curious what you think might be going on if I am seeing signs of phonological processing as well as dysgraphia..?
What is it called when I have the information in my head, but I just can't access it, verbalize it or get it out?
For me Dysgrahia and Discauculia is the hardest 🙁

It would be better if you show how to do it
Hmm. Comorbidities do exist though. My daughter is Dysconstella (first person language for dys-constellation an umbrella term that recognizes neurological co comorbidities e.g. a person who is two or more of the following Dyslexic, Dyspraxic, Apraxic, Dyscalculiac, Dysgraphic).
