At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Fort Worth, we can help with all types of Dysgraphia

Dysgraphia is a learning disability that inhibits the writing ability of a person. However, at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Fort Worth, we understand that a student with poor handwriting does not always indicate Dysgraphia. Dysgraphia is a processing disorder where difficulties vary from person to person.

The primary types of Dysgraphia identified are as follows:

• Dyslexia Dysgraphia

  • In Dyslexia Dysgraphia, written work created spontaneously is illegible. Copied work is legible while the spelling is poor. Students with Dyslexia Dysgraphia may not have Dyslexia. Their finger tapping speed is average.

• Motor Dysgraphia

  • In Motor Dysgraphia, written work is inadequate to illegible even when copied from another source. However, letter formation improves in short samples of writing after continuous effort.

• Spatial Dysgraphia

  • In Spatial Dysgraphia, there is a lack of spatial awareness. Your child may produce written work that is spontaneous and illegible.

• Phonological Dysgraphia

  • In Phonological Dysgraphia, it is challenging to spell unfamiliar. Students may struggle with phonetically irregular words.

• Lexical Dysgraphia

  • In Lexical Dysgraphia, a person can spell but relies on standard sound-to-letter patterns. They may misspell irregular words.

Stress is the most common effect of Dysgraphia. Often, students get frustrated and refuse to write.

At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Fort Worth, we provide appropriate accommodations to help students reach their true potential.

Is Your Child Holding Their Pencil the Right Way?

It is essential to make sure your student grasps their pencil correctly. Penmanship and focus are needed to grip a pencil. If your child holds their pencil between their fingers or tucks their thumb under the first three fingers, their grasp is inefficient. An excellent and functional grip is a three-finger grasp. In this case, the thumb, index finger, and middle finger work together to write. Our Fort Worth Dysgraphia Tutors understand that students want to grip their pencil comfortably. As educators, we will provide direction on the correct method to obtain a proper grasp.

Some students may struggle with moving large muscle groups, while others may struggle with fastening buttons or zippers. Our Fort Worth Dysgraphia Tutors pay attention and record where the student faces difficulty. This tactic allows our tutors to focus on addressing the core problems the student faces.

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth looks at studies showing symptoms of other conditions such as attention disturbances, literacy difficulties, and the overlap between Dysgraphia and Dyspraxia. Children with Dysgraphia can show signs of Dyslexia, and in some cases, they can show symptoms of an attention disorder. Dyspraxia varies with one’s age, resulting in remedial programs that include exercises to promote agility.

Some students with Dyspraxia struggle to reenact practiced actions when taken to a new environment because Dyspraxia hinders learning from one set of circumstances to another. Sometimes, children cannot replicate aspects of movements they have already performed and apply them to new situations. This problem creates a hindrance for automatic actions. Therefore, planning for each movement has to begin anew. A child’s persistent concentration can quickly make them exhausted and discouraged; furthermore, their learning becomes overwhelming with feelings of hopelessness and frustration. When a student sees other children succeed with more fruition and less effort, the comparison can put the student in an already despairful situation. At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth, we understand the importance of the student’s emotions regarding learning.

At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Fort Worth, We Let Them be the Boss

Our Kivato Fort Worth Dyspraxia Tutors know that children do not have the most excellent planning skills due to a lack of experience. Children who know what they want to achieve but not knowing how to achieve it can produce inadequate planning. Our Kivato Fort Worth Dyspraxia Tutors believe in instructing students not by following a regiment stripped of enjoyment. We find that it is more efficient to teach the child by letting them decide what they want to do. This method allows us to respect the child’s interests and bridge the teacher and student gap.

Children need guidance on what they need to learn, but if a student gets to pick the topics they want to explore, they will enjoy the experience of learning. In this way, you can help your student by asking them what they wish to do and assist their teacher in creating the right path for their future learning.

We know the significance of allowing the child to retain ownership over education to be meaningful to them rather than just rote learning. At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth, we believe it is essential to have a platform for communication between parents and teachers. We know communication is necessary to have the best coordination in planning for your child’s education.

“Naughty Kids” don’t exist with Kivato Fort Worth Dyspraxia Tutors

Studies have proven that Dyspraxia is four times more likely in boys than in girls. Unfortunately, evidence shows that most schools mistake the challenges caused by Dyspraxia for behavioral issues. Usually, adults label some of the children’s actions as thoughtless and clumsy. However,  what seems to be reckless may lie outside of the child’s control, causing the child emotional distress. And often, children may not be able to express themselves effectively. Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth understands that not giving enough time to understand your child may lead to frustration, again worsening the situation.

How Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Fort Worth Help through Tutoring

Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Fort Worth helps students with Dyspraxia with a method called rhythmic writing. A common rhythmic writing exercise is tracing figures of “8” counterclockwise on a chalkboard. When the student performs this action, they must say out loud the direction they are moving. Methods like this allow the student to develop the focus required to retrain themselves to become effective learners. Our Fort Worth Dyspraxia Tutors understand this encourages the students and helps them obtain the confidence and emotional security they need to succeed.
