The symptoms to dysgraphia are often overlooked or attributed to the student being lazy, unmotivated, careless or anxious. The condition may also be dismissed as simply being an expression of attention deficiency or having delayed visual-motor processing. In order to be diagnosed with dysgraphia, one must have a cluster, but not necessarily all, of the following symptoms:
Misuse of lines and margins
Poor spatial planning on paper
Relies heavily on vision to write
Irregular letter sizes and shapes
Frequent reliance on verbal cues
Inattentiveness over details when writing
Mixed upper case and lower case letters
Switching between cursive and print letters
Difficulty visualizing letter formation beforehand
Slow writing speed or inefficient speed of copying
Inconsistent form and size of letters, or unfinished letters
Difficulty understanding homophones and what spelling to use
Handwriting abilities that interfere with spelling and written composition
Struggles with translating ideas to writing, sometimes using the wrong words altogether
Issues following rules of sentence structure or grammar when writing, but not when speaking
Feeling pain while writing (eg; cramps in fingers, wrist and palms)
Odd wrist, arm, body, or paper orientations (eg; bending arm into an L shape, holding paper down with non-dominant hand)
Synchronization difficulties like writing and thinking at the same time (eg; creative writing, taking notes, tapping and judging line orientation concurrently)
Slow development of essential skills such as shoe tying
