- Does your child seem lazy, sloppy, and unmotivated? He or she could be suffering from a writing glitch called Dysgraphia, which is easily corrected. diannecraft.org
Some children have to use so much energy for the writing process that they are reluctant to put pencil to paper for anything!
Not all children who have a writing block or dysgraphia also have visual/spatial problems, but they often overlap. This is the most common learning block that gifted children have. Many times it isn't even identified until a child is a teenager and not turning in written work! You will even find out if your child is hard wired to be right handed or left handed.
In my DVD "Smart Kids Who Hate to Write" you will learn how to identify a child with a writing glitch, dysgraphia, visual/spatial problems, and, more importantly, how to eliminate those problems using a proven method. This exercise was originally developed to improve eye/hand coordination and ball handling ability in sports. Coaches said these students just "knew where they were in the field after doing this exercise."
Learning glitches can be taken care of at home with Dainne Craft special education teacher, former homeschool mom, nutritionist and director of Child Diagnostics in Denver, Colorado.

Love the term "glitch" to refer to learning disabilities. Just that change in terminology lightens the psychological burden kids and parents carry when reading and writing are a struggle. Want to learn more.
Hi, I was forced to be right handed growing up and I had a really hard time writing. I recently swtiched back to left hand and it's a piece of cake. Never force your child to be right handed.
nobody cares lmao
@joshyjosh3216 wow you definitely have issues. Hope you deal with them before they cause issues in your intropersonal relationships.
Well i think this is just an excuse for my procrastination which i result to as a result of the pain writing causes. It's like I know what to write but i just cant put it into words.
I have dysgraphia and the part about driving made me realize how hard driving will be
I’ve seen some amazing videos from several people in this space.
This is EXACTLY what my son is struggling with!
Thank you so much.
"lazy, unmotivated, don't like writing". Children are probably confused why its so hard and are still developing resilience and motivation to do a task that is way harder than an average person and have an emotional reaction to being constantly mentally exhausted and confused why they can't be as good as others no matter how hard they try, so they stop trying.
Thank you Dianne! I have utilized neuromotor exercises to address this problem, specifically primitive reflex integration exercises. I look forward to more of your videos.
Where is the 2nd part of this video?
@MyMurphysLaw I'm right handed and have very severe dysgraphia so yes it does happen
Ok... how can we help the child with the writing problems
Good day. I am doing my undergraduate research about dysgraphia and I am looking for teacher with a student with dysgraphia. If it is okay with you, can you pls be my respondent and I will send you my letter and questions.
How to fix that problem in children
I wonder if my son has this..he is 8 loves to draw..always is drawing. Very smart and fast reader and thinker but his handwriting is big and messy..its like the lines are not their. He writes fast but not neat and i tell him to take his time and i make him rewrite until it looms neat but that doesn't help. Even his teachers have written notes for him to write more eligible. I want to help him but dont know how.
If you're still having a problem take a look at therapies that integrate primitive reflexes such as Rhythmic Movement Training. It's a game changer.
I have a six year old reading second grade leveled books fluently but cannot write. since 5 years old still has the same writing. its weak, shaky, and when copying words, he goes letter by letter with much difficulty and stress and mistakes. never truly advancing in skill. He seems to forget things instantly and cannot keep his mind on one thing for very long before his brain has left the room, and we have to reread the instructions and find out where we left off, which is unhelpful because the sentence writing is not fluent.
I have a 6 year old girl who is just like that. She just got a 97.8 average in her tests and reads at a grade 2 level, but hates writing. She will even throw away her pencils at school.
I too have dysgraphia and there is no treatment available in INDIA and I am so depressed withing my writing ..and the education system in india is only my writing the exams😭😭
Thank you
I didn't know you had a CZcams channel. All right, cool.
You were speaking about young people 17 and younger, what about adults I'm 57 is anything available for someone of my age, other than workarounds. Thank you.
im 37 and have no corpus callosium would be nice to see some information on Dysgraphia in adults not just kids as well as how missinf the corpus callosium would affect it
Hi kkrrhh, yes, the writing 8 exercise that is presented in the Brain Integration Therapy Manual on Dianne's website
will help correct the dysgraphia ;-)
Right handed (Disgraphic?)
LTHBfull; what does that have to do with it? I was saying usually left handed kids have bad handwriting
thisrandomchick I've always heard that left-handed people were more insightful. I only know two people who are left handed and this describes them both, however, one went to a catholic school in NYC as a child and the nuns made her write with her right hand. They thought left handed people were evil. But she also spoke 3 languages and became a teacher.
Where is the rest? 😭
SHe uses a telepromper
I wish I knew about this... made it in college tho
good information.I would like to know more about teaching methods of right brain dominant child
It physically hurt me to write as a kid.
I got carpal tunnel so many times from writing paragraphs I panicked my hand would be in ACTUAL PHYSICAL PAIN
Trying to figure out why my child who is also on the spectrum is having meltdown for writing task, I suspect this as she’s very smart but hates writing ✍🏾
@@Lydiaupdates Let her type? Writing by hand is physically painful for me; but since I could draw, people assumed I was just trying to get out of writing by hand.
@@misspinkpunkykat I suspect there's something more but it's only since we're LockDown on I've seen how she reacts and will be speaking to her teacher about it. was there anything the school did to help?
@@Lydiaupdates Nope! My school was a joke. My parents pulled me out and homeschooled me. They let me type out all of my writing assignments or wrote down for me.
I have a child who hates to write. He wraps his thumb over his pencil. I’ve tried for years to correct this with no change. His cursive is better than print. But when I think about visual spatial he is very good at shooting sports. He’s 10. Any suggestions? Think he has dysgraphia? We homeschool and it is so hard to see him break down when he knows he has to write anything.
Kim Lavoie try to provide other ways to get stuff on paper like typing and keep an open mind
When trying understand why he or she hates it I have dysgraphia and in my case and a lot of other cases it hurts to write the normal way and any other way
If available, use speech to text tool on computer. Also, instead of writing paragraphs, use a graphic organizer that divides the paragraph into smaller sections like topic sentence in one box, wrap or conclusion in last box, etc. you can even use bullets points for main ideas then add transitions and topic sentences later.
I am having same problem with my first Grader. He just dont want to write whereas in school they keep asking practice needed. It is the hardest time for me to make him write. He makes all kinds of excuses to avoid writing. His writing goes from biggest to smallest. Teachers saying if he does not improve now he wont be able to write in future. Is that true?
I have dysgraphia, and I hold my pens the same way. Often, it's physically painful to hold it any other way, and writing for somewhat extended periods of time gives me pain shooting up my arm and fingers. It's an issue because focusing so hard on the writing makes it difficult for thoughts to be correctly communicated. I would recommend going to a third party professional if you're child is going to be taking any external exams (I'm not familiar with home schooling or obviously what the system is in your country.) I'm now finishing high school and I have typing privileges for any exams that require large amounts of writing, and some people get extra time. Some sort of official evaluation can really make a difference when campaigning with exam boards.
@@cottontherabbit2952 thank you! I have an 11 year old who says that his hand hurts, when he is writing. He always offers me to type anything he needs to do.
I know right
I do have a glitch at writing though lol.
Just want to say, "Thanks!" I do appreciate you giving credit to God as our creator. I am doing a dysgraphia entry on my vlog soon for parents who are searching for some quick answers and resources.
isnt this *usually* caused by left-handedness? (i havnt watched the whole thing yet so, sorry if it was already answered)
KeswickCamp08 so I don't care that your comment is 6 years old. I thought it would be, since I'm left-handed.
No, my son is right handed naturally and he has great difficulty writing. When I sit with him and he takes his time writing it is somewhat legible but other times I can not understand what he writes neither can his teachers.
The part of my brain that translates information from short to long term memory can't handle drips of information.. it obsesses with it can't map it out into long term memory and doesn't know how to map it out. or thats what it feels like. I often find reading information takes forever to decode it into a visual concept. but once i have it in my long term it stays. I struggle with the written language I have to read so much more to grasp the whole picture. Then I'm content. but then there is the whole exhausting excersize of how to get it out of my head and back into written english. another challenge this one is exposed to vulnerability as I have to make sure people can grasp what I'm trying to say... This is where, I hope you can empathise. the confusion my teachers feel when trying to understand my written language is the world i live in when trying to communicate myself to others... when people speak in certain tones it sounds agressive or they use literature language it sounds like I'm getting told off!!! This lady is using typical literature tone and language order. my brain feels CONFUSED by this kind of linguistics! some teachers are too monotone so a whole lecture can sounds like one long patronising sentence.
What is the point we have computer and speech to text.
I have dysgraphia,but I am a decent artist and I don't have any trouble reading. Its just writing.
SomeOddUsername What works best for you? Typing? Voice to text?
I hate to write because it's boring. What's so fun about writing and analyzing your scribbles all day?
i am no computer with exploits.
This is good information but like my special ed teachers she obviously cares but the way she talks down feels demeaning and part of the problem of why I felt incompetent and unable from elementary school through 9th.
In short she and the special education system make dysgraphia and other 'learning disabilities' seem like road blocks when they're just hurdles.
(Yes I am biased and yes I used this lady as a scape goat for my frustration that they're still compelling kids to have the same inferiority complexes they gave me in 2001.)
will johnson so sorry 😐. The way I see it, everyone has a glitch of some sort. There really is no "normal". Some people struggle with math, some science, some history, some reading, some writing, some in sports, etc. Find what you're really good at and enjoy, and excel in it! Good luck!!!
People talk that way when they are trying to be kind. Often people are already very frustrated and have experienced a great deal of unkindness when they have LDs. So they change there tone of voice to express kindness, gentleness, and willingness to wait. So the listener wont feel anxious.
I’m a neuroscientist and it hurts me to see this. Conscious to automatic actions do indeed transfer to a different brain area but it’s not from left to right. It’s from cortex to basal ganglia. Similarly memories transfer but again not from left to right. All this pseudoscience on the differences between the hemispheres has to stop. Still useful to think of dysgraphia from this perspective though.
Which I respect! But she’s talking about the brain and she’s wrong.
Thank god someone here knows something! I appreciate you sticking up for folks with disgraphia!
I love writing!
Wow Dianne is smarter than 7 wise men and she probably has an ad video on at 3 am.
god really... god damn it
As an adult of 23, I didn't benefit from practice. I am by definition a genius, but my iq means nothing if I live my life shut-in because I can't drive, can't write, can't improve anything, and everything is made for right-handed drones who cannot think for themselves.. yet, I want to die most days, and most nights.
I am depressed BECAUSE I am impaired. I am weak, but I am powerful.
There is just no room on the planet for people like me.
There is no god, that's simply government propaganda to give people something to believe in.
See if you can get into the Army, that may change things for you.
horrible
Your loss, then.
I know this is 8 years old, but I stopped following when she started using ''he" as default.
That is standard grammar. You choose one and stick with it. "They" is only used if there are actually 2 or more people. If you are so weak that you can't handle a specific pronoun, you don't deserve to learn anything.
I was following this for my my kid until you said "god" . not scientifically valid term. goodby.
poor kid.
It's "Goodbye" you utter spastic.
I'm atheist and it didn't bother me. She can believe in God if she wants. Why let it bother you?
Who do you think designed the brain? Something so intricate and amazing must be a divine creation. Or maybe you think aliens created the brain.
It's phenomenally ridiculous that you would walk away from something that could help your child, because she used a word you can't handle.
There is no such thing as dysgraphia - that is a pseudomedical label concocted by people who simply disagree with people who don't enjoy writing. Imagine if we came up with pseudomedical terms for everything we disagreed with. You do people a disservice. At the end of the day, if people genuinely don't like creative writing and prefer doing other things, that's completely okay and NORMAL and HEALTHY.
Did you just say dysgraphia isn't a real disability? Wtf
Bates
@ Emily Green so, first off, you think it’s NORMAL to be in pain while writing? Second it’s not that we hate writing WE ARE IN PHYSICAL Pain WHILE DOING IT When your HAND Feels Like it’s burning THEN talk to me which is NEVER goodbye😁
@@FreeSoulBird i don’t think she went to college, hence why she believes this stupid theory
@@matthewbates9629 I'm not talking about those who are in physical pain and have a physical limitation. I'm referring to those who have no genuine disability or infirmity and who simply are not interested in doing creative writing. Educate yourself. Bye!
