Developmental dysgraphia and its prevention. What educational activities?

Dysgraphia is a problem that involves from 5% to 33% (Overvelde & Hustijn 2011) of European school population. The present work proposes special educational research on 3 to 6 years old children, to identify probable predictors of dysgraphia, with a preventive aim. The work presented here concerns a series of indications, collected through a special educational work that has allowed to develop a prevention program. The article also presents a series of practical, educational guidelines, whose application has proven to be effective in recovering situations where handwriting is difficult.
