dysgraphia
Handwriting learning disability
Dysgraphia is a neurological condition that impairs the ability to write.
People with dysgraphia may struggle with handwriting, spelling, or organizing thoughts on paper, even when their reading and speaking abilities are normal.
The difficulty is mechanical and cognitive, not a matter of effort or intelligence: His dysgraphia made note-taking in class nearly impossible.
