At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online, We Can Help With All Types of Dysgraphia
Dysgraphia is a learning disability that hinders the writing ability of an individual. However, at Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online, we understand that a student with poor handwriting is not always indicative of Dysgraphia. Dysgraphia is a processing disorder where the difficulties a student may face might not always stay constant. Primary types of Dysgraphia that can be identified are as follows:
- Type 1: Dyslexia Dysgraphia
- Written work is illegible and created spontaneously
- Copied work can be acceptable while the spelling is poor.
- Finger tapping is normal
- Note that a student with dyslexia dysgraphia might not have dyslexia
- Type 2: Motor Dysgraphia
- Written work is illegible even when copied
- Type 3: Spatial Dysgraphia
- Written work is illegible and created spontaneously
- Lack of spatial awareness
- Some additional dysgraphia types include Phonological Dysgraphia and Lexical Dysgraphia.
- Phonological Dysgraphia
- Spelling unfamiliar words is a challenge
- Struggles with phonetically irregular words
- Lexical Dysgraphia
- Reliance on standard sound-to-letter patterns to spell (leads to the misspelling of irregular words)
- Phonological Dysgraphia
In fact, stress is the most common problem related to dysgraphia. Oftentimes, students refuse to write in the face of frustrating situations.
How Can Kivato Online Dysgraphia Tutors Help?
At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online, we understand that placing an emphasis on a rehearsed and systematic teaching style helps students learn writing. By combining this with a strong focus on writing practice, we can help students overcome their difficulties with writing. Some facets of writing that are often confusing for students with dysgraphia include grammar, spelling, and mechanics of writing (punctuation, capitalization, etc.).
Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online also knows children with dysgraphia exhibit 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 Online Dysgraphia Tutors are aware of the difficulties students face and actively make an effort to motivate each child to succeed. Rather than label a student’s struggles as a “lack of effort,” Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online recognizes the multitude of challenges students face and will provide them with the guidance necessary to overcome them. We’ve developed a specialized and unique instruction guide to refine your child’s skills. At Kivato Dysgraphia Tutoring Online, we provide appropriate accommodations to allow them to reach their true potential.
Is Your Child Holding Their Pencil the Right Way?
In order to maintain adequate handwriting, it’s very important that students grasp their pencils correctly. There are a number of grips that are inefficient:
- Holding the pencil between their fingers
- Tucking their thumb under the first three fingers
Instead, we focus on the three-finger grasp to maximize efficiency; the thumb, index finger, and middle finger work in unison to write. Our Online 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 Online, We Know That One Thing Leads to Another
Our Online Dysgraphia Tutors know that each child may encounter varying problems in academics or life. Students with dysgraphia may struggle with spelling, handwriting, or other subject areas. Some students may struggle with the movement of large muscle groups while others may struggle with fastening buttons or zippers. Our Online Dysgraphia Tutors focus on addressing the core problems the student faces.
Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online
Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online examines the most recent developments in scientific literature and recognizes the overlap of symptoms between other conditions such as attention disturbances, dysgraphia, literacy difficulties, and dyspraxia. Dyspraxia can vary with age, so remedial programs are integral to promoting dexterity. Because dyspraxia stifles the transfer of learning to different environments, students may struggle when practicing action on their first attempt. Children lack the movement recall that allows them to replicate aspects of movements they have already performed and apply them to new situations. This creates a barrier for movements that should be automatic, and therefore planning for each movement has to begin anew.
At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online, we understand the importance of children’s emotions when it comes to learning. The persistent concentration children are required to apply can exhaust them. Combined with a sense of frustration and despair, work can be overwhelming for students at times. Knowing this, our tutors at Kivato make sure that we maintain a balance between work and mental health to ensure our students don’t feel dispirited.
At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Online, We Let Them Be the Boss
Kivato’s Online Dyspraxia Tutors believe in instructing students by letting them decide what they want to do. This allows us to respect the child’s interests, as well as bridge the gap between the teacher and student. We understand that children need direction and guidance, however, we let your child pick the topics they want to learn/explore so they enjoy the experience of learning. It is important that the child retains the material they learn, which is why our approach to teaching ensures long-term gains.
At Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online, we believe it is paramount to establish an open dialogue between parents and teachers. We know communication is the foundation to coordinating the plan that best suits your child’s education.
At Kivato, We Know That They Might Not Be the ‘Naughty Kid’
Sadly, many do not recognize or understand dyspraxia and the challenges that come with it. Evidence shows that the majority of schools mistake dyspraxia with behavioral issues, labeling a child’s actions as thoughtless and clumsy. This ignorance often leads to emotional distress because the child cannot control their condition. As a result, children fail to express themselves, stifling the efficacy of any treatment. Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online understands that it takes time and patience to understand your child, which is why we make the effort to address your child’s needs appropriately.
How Kivato Dyspraxia Tutors Online Help Through Rhythmic Writing
Kivato Dyspraxia Tutoring Online helps students with dyspraxia through a number of methods and techniques meant to help with dyspraxia. In particular, one of the methods we tend to use is called rhythmic writing. Here’s how it works:
- A student traces figure “8’s” on a chalkboard counterclockwise
- Simultaneously, the student must say the direction they are tracing
This allows our students to develop the focus required to retrain themselves and become effective learners. Our Online Dyspraxia Tutors know these exercises help your child obtain the confidence and emotional security they need to be a successful student.
