We report a new type of dysgraphia, which we term dyscravia. The main error type in dyscravia is substitution of the target letter with a letter that differs only with respect to the voicing feature, such as writing "coat" for "goat", and "vagd" for "fact". Two Hebrew-speaking individuals with acquired dyscravia are reported, TG, a man aged 31, and BG, a woman aged 66. Both had surface dysgraph...

Multiple complaints in the domain of writing are common among children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). In this work we sought to characterize the writing disorder by studying dysgraphia in twenty 6th grade boys with ADHD and normal reading skills matched to 20 healthy boys who served as a comparison group. Dysgraphia, defined as deficits in spelling and handwriting, was as...

A 13 years male was referred to the Learning Disability Clinic with the complaint of illegible handwriting, dropping academic grades with a possibility of dysgraphia. The handwriting fluency and legibility deteriorated in time controlled situations such as examinations. He was slow in copying but had no issues with concentration, retrieval and had a good memory. Family history of tremors in fat...

This is a case study of an adolescent who had largely overcome his early difficulty in learning to read, but continued to have severe problems with spelling. He had no visual memory impairment, and his letter-sound knowledge and phonemic awareness were at adult levels. Testing revealed that his difficulties in both reading and spelling only manifested when processing unfamiliar words. He was sl...

Recent studies suggest that consonants and vowels are represented separately in cognitive/neural space. Much of the evidence comes from research on dysgraphia (for review, see Miceli & Capasso, submitted). In the first place, letter substitution errors preserve the consonant/vowel (CV) status of the target (e.g., cinema fi cirema or cinoma, but not cintma). Second, there are reports of selectiv...

Abstract Language outcomes after speech and language therapy in post-stroke aphasia are challenging to predict. This study examines behavioral measures resting state fMRI (rsfMRI) as predictors of treatment outcome. Fifty-seven patients with chronic were recruited treated for one three impairments: anomia, agrammatism, or dysgraphia. Treatment effect was measured by performance on a treatment-s...
