Graphotherapy: handwriting rehabilitation for children and adults, dysgraphia and motor difficulties.
Graphotherapy is a paramedical discipline specializing in handwriting rehabilitation. It addresses children, adolescents and adults whose writing is painful, illegible, too slow or causes academic/professional suffering. The graphotherapist works on posture, writing tool grip, graphic gesture, fine motor skills and page space management.
Graphotherapy is not just for children. More adults consult for writing pain, legibility loss, need to restore fluid gesture after injury or for professional reasons. Students preparing exams, professionals taking handwritten notes and those wanting to beautify their writing find effective, personalized support.
Dysgraphia affects about 5-10% of school-age children. This handwriting disorder manifests as illegible, painful, slow or laborious writing despite appropriate teaching and normal intelligence. Graphotherapy offers dysgraphic children tailored rehabilitation restoring the pleasure of writing and preventing academic failure.
