Patients with Dysgraphia

Question

Patients with dysgraphia
A) Have difficulty producing well-formed writing strokes, though their spelling and word choices are appropriate
B) Have difficulty drawing discs but have no difficulty drawing other shapes
C) Both a and b
D) Never have trouble with spelling or generating writing strokes

Accepted Answer

Dysgraphia specifically refers to difficulty with handwriting, such as producing well-formed writing strokes, but it does not necessarily affect other types of drawing or visual-spatial skills. While spelling and word choice can be affected in some cases, this is not always the case. Therefore, choice A is the best answer. Choice B is not accurate as dysgraphia does not typically affect specific shapes or drawing skills. Choice C is partly true but not the best answer as it implies that all patients with dysgraphia have difficulty with drawing discs, which is not accurate. Choice D is not accurate as dysgraphia specifically affects handwriting and can affect spelling and word choice in some cases.
