Dysgraphia......apa tu ya...

Common Warning Signs of Dysgraphia in Children Pre-K to Grade 2


By NCLD Editorial Team


Dysgraphia Warning SignsDoes your young child struggle with drawing and writing when other children of the same age don’t seem to have the same difficulty? Does your child often get fatigued because the physical process of writing is so arduous? Dysgraphia is a learning disability (LD) that affects writing, which requires a complex set of motor and information-processing skills.

Writing is a developmental process (meaning that the ability to write doesn’t happen all at once) so a person with dysgraphia may display different challenges at different ages. Dysgraphia generally emerges when children are first introduced to writing, and it may or many not occur with other types of LD. Keep in mind that most children will struggle with learning at times and that learning disabilities such as dysgraphia, do not go away over time. Dysgraphia is most often formally identified in school-age children, but signs of the disorder can often be seen in preschoolers.

If you’re concerned about your child, review the following list of common warning signs of dysgraphia in children in Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 2. Be aware that some of the “symptoms” listed below also apply to other types of learning disabilities and/or to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), which often co-exist with learning disabilities, so you may want to look over our more comprehensive Interactive Learning Disabilities Checklist to take a broader approach your child’s struggles.

    If any of these warning signs reflect your child’s struggles, don't hesitate to seek help. Print this article, check off the warning signs that apply to your child, and share it with professional such as your child’s teacher and/or pediatrician. The sooner a child’s LD is identified, the faster your child will be able to receive the support needed to succeed in school and in life. Trust your observations and have the courage to advocate for your child’s special needs.

Di Pantai ini kuinsafi diri...

Di pantai ini
sesekali kenangan menyapa
terimbas segala keperitan
silih berganti menghantui diri
namun kenangan keperitan ini aku hargai
kerananya
aku kini sebegini
jalan keperitan itu telah lama kutinggalkan
betullah kata -kata orang
langit tidak selalu mendung
awan kelabu pasti berarak jua
rumput yang kering akan tumbuh hijaunya jua
roda dibawah akan berputar berada di atas...
tapi seringkali ingat pada diri
jangan lupa bumi yang dipijak
langit yang dijunjung
siapa yang telah berbudi..
aku tetap aku
sentiasa inginkan yang terbaik untuk semua
supaya bila kala mata tertutup selamanya
adalah juga manisnya bicara orang memuji kita
adalah juga wanginya
padaMu Ilahi terima kasih anugerahkan insan tersayang yang memahami dan menyayangi diri ini..
 
  Alhamdulillah
