The National Center for Learning Disabilities
provides an excellent discussion for dysgraphia
warning signs across ages (33). Manifestations of
dysgraphia parallel stages of child development, with
more concrete "lower order" difficulties giving way to
abstract "higher order" difficulties as the child ages.
Pre-school children with dysgraphia may present with
the following characteristics:
An awkward grip or body position when
writing
Tire easily with writing (18)
