[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who diagnoses dysgraphia?[/quote] I think that occupational therapists are best qualified to evaluate for dysgraphia.[/quote] Dysgraphia is more than bad hand writing. IT is house the brain interacts with the hand for handwriting. OTs are more about muscle strength. A person with dyslexia can have the muscle strength- it is in the integration of the brain and the hand that causes dysgraphia. It also has to do with organizing thoughts and getting them down on paper. This is not in an OT wheelhouse. An educational psychologist can separate out what is merely poor handwriting and what is dysgraphia. We found the OT to be useless because DC has the muscle strength and all the exercises in world did nothing for his handwriting.[/quote]
