When was dysgraphia discovered?

Dysgraphia has been recognised for over a century. Early medical descriptions appeared in the late 1800s when neurologists studied handwriting difficulties linked to brain injuries and developmental disorders. By the mid-20th century, it was more formally described as a learning difficulty affecting children without intellectual disabilities. Today, research continues to refine how dysgraphia is identified and supported in educational and clinical settings.
