What causes dysgraphia?

Dysgraphia is caused by differences in brain function that affect the ability to process written language and coordinate fine motor skills. Research suggests it may be linked to challenges in the brain areas responsible for motor planning, working memory, and language processing. In children, dysgraphia is often noticed when writing demands increase at school, highlighting difficulties with spelling, letter formation, or organising ideas. It is not caused by laziness or poor teaching but by neurological factors that make writing more difficult.
