Are dysgraphia and dyscalculia related?

Dysgraphia and dyscalculia are both specific learning disorders, but they affect different skill areas.

• Dysgraphia impacts writing, handwriting, and written expression.
• Dyscalculia affects understanding of numbers, arithmetic, and mathematical reasoning.

While they are separate conditions, some children may experience both, as learning disorders can overlap. In Australia, assessments often explore multiple areas of learning to identify whether a child has one or more related difficulties. Recognising both helps ensure the right mix of educational and therapy supports.
