At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco, we can help with all types of Dysgraphia.

Dysgraphia is a learning disorder that affects an individual’s writing ability. We acknowledge, however, that a student with bad handwriting is not necessarily indicative of dysgraphia at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco. Dysgraphia is a cognitive condition where the problems a student may face may not always remain constant. The following are the main forms of dysgraphia:

• Dyslexia Dysgraphia

  • Written work, spontaneously formed, which is illegible. Although the spelling is bad, copied work can be appropriate. A dyslexia dysgraphia student may not have dyslexia. The pace of finger tapping is natural.

• Motor Dysgraphia

  • In Motor Dysgraphia, even though copied from another source, written work is bad or unreadable. After the continuous effort, however, letter forming can be improved in short samples of writing.

• Spatial Dysgraphia

  • A lack of spatial perception is characterized by Spatial Dysgraphia. You will find that your child is creating spontaneous and illegible written work.

• Additional dysgraphia types include Phonological Dysgraphia and Lexical Dysgraphia.

• • Spelling unfamiliar words in Phonological Dysgraphia is difficult and students may struggle with phonetically irregular words. 
  • When a person can spell but relies on traditional sound-to-letter patterns, Lexical Dysgraphia is established. This leads to irregular terms being misspelled. The most common dysgraphia-related issue is stress. Often, one finds that students get frustrated and refuse to write.

How can Kivato San Francisco Dysgraphia Tutors Help?

We recognize at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco that emphasizing a rehearsed and structured style of teaching helps students greatly. To help students overcome writing challenges, we combine this with a clear emphasis on writing practice. Grammar and writing mechanics such as punctuation and capitalization confuse learners with dysgraphia.

Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco also knows children with dysgraphia display the following traits which are common symptoms of dysgraphia: 

• Reversals: A student flips the direction a letter faces across the vertical axis
• Inversions: Students flip letters across the horizontal axis so that the letter is upside down
• Transpositions: The sequence of letters in a word is out of order

Our tutors at San Francisco Dysgraphia are mindful of the challenges that students encounter. So, while encouraging them to excel, they still make an effort to understand each boy. Our tutors never confuse the difficulties of a student for not trying. Instead, Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco understands that they face several problems and provides them with the support they need to overcome them. We are creating a specialized and specific guide for instruction that requires handwriting practice. While an early approach to dysgraphia is preferable, it is never too late to begin training the abilities of a student. We provide sufficient accommodation at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring San Francisco to allow them to achieve their true potential.

Is Your Child Holding Their Pencil the Right Way?

It is crucial to make sure that they understand their pencil correctly to support our students. The way they grasp their pencil is correlated with handwriting and concentration. If your child keeps their pencil between their fingertips, it is inefficient to grasp them. If the child tucks their thumb under the first three digits, they are most likely holding their pencil inefficiently. However, a 3 finger grip is the most efficient way for a student to hold a pencil. The thumb, index finger, and middle finger work here to write in unison. Our San Francisco Dysgraphia Tutors recognize that students are comfortable with a grip they want to use. As educators, to achieve a proper understanding, we will be sure to provide feedback on the correct process.

With Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors San Francisco, we know that one Thing Leads to Another.

Our San Francisco Dysgraphia Tutors recognize that there might be different academic challenges for each boy. Students with dysgraphia may struggle with spelling, but not handwriting, and vice versa. Others may struggle with handwriting and not spelling. Some students may struggle with large muscle groups moving, while others may struggle with buttons or zippers fastening. Our San Francisco Dysgraphia Tutors pay attention and record where the student faces difficulty. This enables them to focus on addressing the central problems the student faces.

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco looks at research that indicates that symptoms of other disorders can correlate with dyspraxia, such as concentration disturbances, literacy issues, and dysgraphia. Children with dysgraphia can also show symptoms of dyslexia and attention disorder in some instances. Dyspraxia differs with age, leading to remedial services that involve dexterity promotion exercises.

In their first attempt when taken to a new setting, some children with dyspraxia fail to execute even practiced steps. This is because the transition of learning from one set of conditions to another is hindered by dyspraxia. Children lack the memory of the action that enables them to recreate and adapt elements of gestures they have already performed to new circumstances. This creates an obstacle that should be automatic for movements, and so preparation needs to start again for each movement. The relentless focus that the children have to apply will easily make them tired and dispirited; thus, with feelings of hopelessness and dissatisfaction at times, it becomes overwhelming. Watching other children succeed with more success and less effort can worsen their situation. At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco we understand the crux of children’s emotions when it comes to learning.

At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors San Francisco, we Let Children be the Boss.

Our Kivato San Francisco Dyspraxia Tutors recognize that, due to lack of experience, kids do not seem to have the best planning skills. Children knowing what they want to do but not knowing how to do it can be induced by inadequate planning. Our Kivato San Francisco Dyspraxia Tutors agree that teaching students is more successful than pursuing a regiment deprived of pleasure. This helps us to consider your student’s needs and bridge the distance between the teacher and the learner. Kids indeed need guidance and advice about what they need to do. However, if you let your child choose the subjects they want to learn or explore, they can enjoy the learning experience. Therefore, by asking what they would like to do, and helping their teacher to build the path to their future learning, you can support your child.

In addition, we appreciate the importance of allowing the child to maintain ownership over learning. We believe it is important to provide a safe and nurturing environment here at Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco. 

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

Studies have shown that the presence of dyspraxia in boys rather than in girls is four times more common. Additionally, research suggests that most schools mistake the struggles that children with dyspraxia face as behavioral problems. Adults can, in most cases, mark some of the acts of children as thoughtless and clumsy. Since what appears to be sloppy or thoughtless can lie beyond the control of the child, emotional distress may be caused. As a result, kids are not able to express themselves successfully. Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco knows that not giving your child enough time to learn will lead to anger, making the problem worse again.

How do Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors San Francisco Help through Tutoring?

With a tool called rhythmic writing, Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring San Francisco assists students with dyspraxia. A typical rhythmic writing exercise is to trace the figure “8” on a counterclockwise chalkboard. As a student traces a figure “8”, they must state the direction they are drawing the 8 out loud. This makes it possible for them to cultivate the attention needed to retrain themselves to become better learners. Our San Francisco Dyspraxia Tutors recognize that this helps learners to gain the confidence and emotional security they need to be good learners.
