One of the problems of the organization and development of writing is the Dysgraphia. Under this concept includes a series of disorders characterized by the fact that the person " misspelled" no apparent reason there is a neurological, intellectual or emotional justifies it. Dysgraphia can be detected only after 7 or 8 years.
If we apply the scale of a child Ajuriaguerra dysgraphic, we see that the M components, namely those related to motor abnormalities are raised, while the components F, related to the form, mainly reflect the awkwardness of coordination, such as the emergence of collages and reenlistment in writing.
In analyzing the writing of a graphic person who has difficulty we must not only determine the structure of the disorder in the present moment, but it will be necessary to observe how they have been able to evolve from the beginning. That is, we'll see scripts in different stages of development of the individual, the methods employed at the school where the person, calligraphic age, learned the art of writing and its demands.
is also important to know the family reactions to the difficulties that we showed as children and the general way in which we lived this.
As with all graphics rehabilitation process is necessary to correct the body posture we have taken to write and how to take the writing implement.
book-addition to these components, it is useful to know other aspects, such as:
- Cómo es el grado de evolución del lenguaje, la lectura y la ortografía.
- El grado de motricidad y la lateralidad (si es diestro o zurdo).
- Cómo es la comprensión de las relaciones espaciales y temporales.
- Cómo es la estructura general de su personalidad y cómo se relaciona con el entorno.
According to Juan de Ajuriaguerra, there are three components of writing with Dysgraphia:
1. The order on the page: the overall impression is dirty, with broken lines and down. The words appear as stacked, with an irregular spacing between the letters, words, lines and insufficient margins.
2. The quality of the layout: The line is of poor quality, with lyrics reworked. Difficulties arise cohesion, with collages, reenlistment, juxtapositions and jolts along the writing. The size of the words is irregular and the lyrics are as bad completed. It also notes the " m", "n", "u" and "i " sprung.
3. Form and Proportion: writing often or too big or too small and not clearly differentiates the three zones (upper, middle and bottom), observed disproportions between them. In general there are bad ways, with a script or too widespread or too close between letters.
As in any analysis, and I insist on it, take the results with caution. For example, if you are tinkering with a script does not mean that we are confronting a dysgraphia, but may be due simply to an obsession.
Generally there is no single cause disorders in writing. In each case we find a greater or lesser degree, the presence of any of these factors: emotion, laterality, language or somato-spatial organization.
The Dysgraphia is a writing motion abnormality, conduction of the stroke, which causes the person dysgraphic difficulty forming letters and prevents the dominance of form.
In summary, the causes seem predispose to dysgraphia may include the following:
- First Sex: dysgraphia have found more in boys than girls.
- general psychomotor difficulties, the studies show that 50% is reserving his clumsiness dysgraphic for writing, looking very adept at other things.
- the disturbances in spatial representation
- Disturbances of body schema itself: to have adequate space organization, the person be based on a knowledge of their own body image. This awareness of his own body and its possibilities motor is what is known as body schema. The human being is oriented according to some external signals organized along the lines of their own body image, front / rear, left / right, up / down, etc. Having a well-internalized body image perception makes us have adjusted to different parts of our body in its internal relations and in relation to the signals from the outside world.
- Finally and derived from the previous point, we would speak of dysgraphia called psychogenic as the psychological element, it is seen as the most important but the one many times. It is commonly found in people dysgraphic some children's habits, difficulty getting to sleep, fatigue due to excessive internal stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. The absence of internal security prevents them from authentic exchanges with the outside world.
