Like other learning disabilities, dysgraphia is highly genetic and often runs in families. If you or another member of your family has dysgraphia, your child is more likely to have it, too.
What is the main cause of dysgraphia?
When dysgraphia develops in adults, the cause is usually a stroke or other brain injury. In particular, injury to the brain’s left parietal lobe may lead to dysgraphia. You have a right and left parietal lobe in the upper part of your brain.
At what age is dysgraphia diagnosed?
Therefore, DCD is commonly diagnosed after age 5 years, when the motor problems are becoming increasingly apparent (highlighted by the structured demands of the child’ environment) and can no longer be attributed to a developmental delay.
