What is the link between dysgraphia and ADHD?

Dysgraphia and ADHD often co-occur, as both can affect attention, organisation, and motor control. Children with ADHD may struggle with focus and self-regulation, making handwriting and written tasks even more difficult. Dysgraphia adds an extra layer of challenge by affecting the physical act of writing and organising ideas. Because of this overlap, assessments should explore both conditions to ensure children receive the right supports across learning and behaviour.
