Managing Dysgraphia

In order to manage dysgraphia, there are low technology or high technology options which are explored below.

Low Tech

A low tech option is by using visual cues to engage other forms of memory. Concept mapping and outlining tools can support organization and idea generation (Gray, 2022). Adapted paper with raised lines and highlighted sections can assist with letter placement and letter construction (Assistive technology: Low-tech has its place, 2020).

​

Low tech should not be used if a student has received 12-18 months of writing therapy with no improvement. Assistive technology should be implemented (Ramin-Hutchison, 2021).

High Tech

A high tech option is to give students access to word processing software if their dysgraphia stems from fine motor issues (Ramin-Hutchison, 2021).

 

Using speech-to-text software is another way to help students demonstrate their learning in a way which is accessible to them (Ramin-Hutchison, 2021)..
