Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Dyslexia and dysgraphia are two distinct neurological conditions, though they’re easy to confuse because they share symptoms and often occur together. Dyslexia is a learning difference that makes it harder for people to learn to read. If you have dyslexia, you may read more slowly or have trouble recognizing words.

Detailed explanation-2: -What is dysgraphia? Dysgraphia is a neurological disorder characterized by writing disabilities. Specifically, the disorder causes a person’s writing to be distorted or incorrect. In children, the disorder generally emerges when they are first introduced to writing.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects writing abilities. It can manifest itself as difficulties with spelling, poor handwriting and trouble putting thoughts on paper. Because writing requires a complex set of motor and information processing skills, saying a student has dysgraphia is not sufficient.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thus, dysgraphia is the condition of impaired letter writing by hand, that is, disabled handwriting. Impaired handwriting can interfere with learning to spell words in writing and speed of writing text.

Detailed explanation-5: -Fact: Dyspraxia and dysgraphia can cause similar or overlapping struggles with writing. But they are different conditions. Dyspraxia causes problems with fine motor skills, including the physical task of printing and writing. Most children with dysgraphia struggle with printing and handwriting, too.
