A student who struggles with forming letters and numbers but can articulate thoughts verbally likely has which condition?

• A. Dyslexia
• B. Dyscalculia
• C. None of the above
• D. Dysgraphia

Answer: (D)

When a student can articulate thoughts verbally but struggles with writing, the issue is a writing disability rather than language or math problems. This pattern points to dysgraphia, a condition that affects handwriting and the ability to form letters and produce written text. People with dysgraphia often have trouble with letter formation, spacing, and legibility, and writing can be slow or awkward even though their thinking and spoken language are functioning well. This distinguishes it from dyslexia, which centers on reading and decoding, and from dyscalculia, which affects math skills.
