When writing is slow, effortful or hard to read — find out exactly what is getting in the way, and what will help.​

 

Dysgraphia is a specific learning disorder that impacts a child's ability to write. This condition can occur on its own or alongside other specific learning disorders such as Dyslexia, often making it challenging for children to grasp and follow writing conventions such as spelling rules, punctuation, capitalisation, and sentence composition.

​

At Butterfly Psychology for Kids, every Dysgraphia assessment is personally conducted by psychologist Vanessa Gunton — who has over 28 years of experience supporting children in Perth schools. Here's what the assessment process involves:​

​

• Intellectual Assessment: A cognitive evaluation to identify your child's cognitive strengths and weaknesses.

• Educational Assessment: A detailed look at your child's literacy including writing and spelling skills.

• Background Information Review: An analysis of your child’s developmental, medical, and educational history, including any prior interventions and agency involvements.

• Comprehensive Psychological Report: A detailed report summarising the assessment results, with tailored recommendations for support and intervention strategies.

• Parent Consultation: A dedicated session with our psychologist to discuss your child’s assessment results, our professional recommendations, and what the diagnosis implies.

​

If you're in Perth and suspect your child may have Dysgraphia, contact Butterfly Psychology for Kids for a comprehensive  assessment that can provide targeted strategies to support your child.
