Summary: A highly practical book
Comment: This book provides lots of practical suggestions on how to maintain the self-esteem of children who struggle with writing.I especially like the author's statement that "With sympathetic parenting and teaching,a child will survive slow handwriting development with few or no emotional scars." Suggestions on how to identify dysgraphia and provide accommodations for it are presented in this very easy to read handbook. As an occupational therapist, I found the information on the following to be the most helpful: personal traits and performance characteristics of dysgraphic students; writing samples; praising; and accomodations. This book would help those seeking practical ways to help their child or student. It does not go into depth about the different classifications of dysgraphia.

Summary: Dysgraphia-Why Johnny Can't Write
Comment: This is a small book packed with invaluable information! As a teacher and parent I found this book to be a wealth of information. In an easy to read and understand format I learned, as a parent, about dysgraphia, early warning signs, things to do at home and how to get help. As a teacher I learned to understand this LD from my student's perspective and I learned strategies to help him be successful in school! I highly recommend this book for parents who have a child with dsygraphia and for teachers who may have a student exhibiting symptoms of dysgraphia.

Summary: Very helpful to me + my son's teachers
Comment: We recently received a diagnosis of Dysgraphia regarding our First Grader. Unfortunately there isn't alot written about Dysgraphia, but I was thrilled to read this book. Although we knew he had difficulty with writing, and the teachers also saw him struggling, this book helped put things in perspective. I had my son's teachers read the book (since it is a short easy book to read) and it made a world of difference in how they felt about the difficulty and how they are now helping him in their classroom. This book is well worth reading.
