How do you diagnose dysgraphia?

Dysgraphia is diagnosed through a combination of standardised writing tests, classroom observations, and developmental history. Assessments focus on handwriting speed, legibility, spelling, grammar, and the ability to organise written ideas. Occupational therapists, psychologists, or educational specialists may use specific tools to measure fine motor skills and written expression. A diagnosis is made when writing difficulties are persistent, significantly below age expectations, and not explained by other factors like lack of education.
