This is a pre-diagnostic assessment that involves identifying the underlying contributors to difficulties in fine motor skills, written expression, pencil control, spelling, grammar, punctuation, cognitive loading and organisation of written tasks.
​
Our OTs utilise a range of assessment tools to identify if the functional writing difficulties are indicative of Motor Based Dysgraphia. A caregiver interview may be initially conducted, followed by client assessment. A report will then be generated with an optional feedback session with the caregiver. Please allow a few weeks for our therapists to prepare this report for you.
Motor-Based Dysgraphia can only be diagnosed in individuals aged 9 and older, and requires 6 months of intervention post-initial assessment to meet diagnostic criteria.
​
Year 11 and 12 students completing WACE will need an updated Dysgraphia assessment if requesting special considerations for examinations. Our OTs can provide update reports and assist with SCSA applications.
