At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas, We Can Help with All Types of Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that hinders an individual’s ability to write. However, at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas, we understand that a student with poor handwriting is not always indicative of Dysgraphia. In particular, the primary types of Dysgraphia and their characteristics are listed below:

Type 1: Dyslexia Dysgraphia
- Spontaneous and illegible written work.
- Copied work may be acceptable, though accompanied with poor spelling.
Type 2: Motor Dysgraphia
- Illegibly written work, even when copied
- Improvements can be made through continuous sample writing
Type 3: Spatial Dysgraphia
- Spontaneous and illegible writing.
- Lack of spatial awareness
Other types include:
- Phonological Dysgraphia
  - Difficulty spelling unfamiliar words
  - Difficulty with phonetically irregular words
- Lexical Dysgraphia.
  - Reliance on standard sound-to-letter patterns. This leads to the misspelling of irregular words

Oftentimes, the most common issue students face with dysgraphia is stress. When faced with challenging tasks, students may get frustrated or outright refuse to write.

How can Kivato Dallas Dysgraphia Tutors Help?

At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas, we understand that placing an emphasis on rehearsed and systematic teaching style helps students learn writing. We combine this with a strong focus on writing practice to help students overcome writing difficulties. Writing concepts and conventions such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, and capitalization leave students with dysgraphia confused.

Additionally, Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas also knows children with dysgraphia exhibit the following traits which are common symptoms of dysgraphia:

Reversals: Flipping the direction of a letter across the vertical axis (the letter is written backward)
Inversions: Flipping the direction of a letter across the horizontal axis (the letter is upside down)
Transpositions: The sequence of letters in a word is out of order

Our Dallas Dysgraphia tutors are aware of the difficulties students face; our tutors never mistake a student’s struggles with not trying. Rather, Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas recognizes the many challenges they face and offers the guidance they need to overcome them, using a specialized and unique instruction guide. Although an early approach to dysgraphia is ideal, it is never too late to start training a student’s skills. At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Dallas, we provide appropriate accommodations to allow them to reach their true potential.

Is Your Child Holding His Pencil the Right Way?

In order to help our students, it is important to make sure they grasp their pencils correctly. Handwriting and focus are related to the way they grasp their pencil.

Incorrect grasps for inefficient handwriting include:

Holding the pencil between your fingers
Tucking your thumb under the first three fingers

Proper technique for efficient handwriting is:

3 finger grasp (thumb, index finger, and middle finger)

Our Dallas Dysgraphia Tutors understand that students want to use a grasp they are comfortable with. As educators, we will be sure to provide direction on the correct method to obtain a proper grasp.

With Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Dallas, We Know That One Thing Leads to Another

Our Dallas Dysgraphia Tutors know that each child may encounter varying problems in academics. Students with dysgraphia may struggle with spelling but not handwriting and vice versa. Some students may struggle with the movement of large muscle groups while others may struggle with fastening buttons or zippers. Our Dallas Dysgraphia Tutors pay attention to where the student faces difficulty, allowing them to focus on addressing the core problems the student faces.

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Dallas

Here at Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Dallas, we understand that symptoms of other conditions such as literacy difficulties, attention disturbances, and dysgraphia can overlap with dyspraxia. As an introduction, dyspraxia prevents children from performing practiced actions in a new environment. Individuals with dyspraxia lack the movement recall that allows them to replicate aspects of movement they’ve previously completed and apply them to new situations. Because it creates a hindrance for movements that should instead be automatic, planning for each movement has to begin anew; the concentration children have to exert makes them exhausted and dispirited, leading to feelings of hopelessness and frustration.

At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Dallas we understand the importance of children’s emotions when it comes to learning. Our goal is to require less effort when applying movements to new settings, hopefully allowing for your child’s success to come to fruition.

At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Dallas, We Let the Students be the Boss

Our Kivato Dallas Dyspraxia Tutors believe in providing your child with the autonomy to decide how they want to learn and what they want to do; we don’t want to instruct students by following a regiment stripped of enjoyment. With this, we can bridge the gap between teacher and student, allowing them to keep their enthusiasm to learn without sacrificing efficiency. We understand that children need direction and guidance on what they need to learn, however, having students pick the topics they want to explore will provide them with an unparalleled experience of learning; it’s important that your child retains the material they’re learning rather than obtaining information without any knowledge of the application.

At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Dallas, we believe it is important to have a platform for communication between parents and teachers. We know communication is needed in order to have the best coordination in planning for your child’s education.

At Kivato, we know that they might not be the ‘Naughty Kid’

Unfortunately, it’s commonplace that schools misidentify the challenges that children with dyspraxia face as behavioral issues; oftentimes, adults characterize these children as thoughtless and clumsy. In reality, the children’s behavior is outside of their control, leading to emotional distress, especially when they have difficulty expressing themselves. Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Dallas understands that not giving enough time to understand your child may lead to frustration, again worsening the situation.

How Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Dallas Help Through Tutoring

At Kivato, Dallas Dyspraxia tutors use a method called rhythmic writing to help students. A common rhythmic writing exercise is tracing figure “8” ‘s on a chalkboard counterclockwise. While the student performs this action, they must say the direction they’re tracing out-loud. This allows them to develop the focus required to retrain themselves to become effective learners. Our Dallas Dyspraxia Tutors understand this encourages the students and helps them obtain the confidence and emotional security they need to be successful students.
