5. Slow Development of Fine Motor Skills
Although, as we have mentioned previously, dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects language use, it can also negatively impact a child’s development of fine motor skills in that they might learn these skills at a slower pace than children without dyslexia.
Tasks that might seem as easy as pie, like how to cut a piece of paper with scissors or holding a pencil properly (or moving the hand and not the fingers when trying to write), might be especially difficult for dyslexic children. The combination of issues with remembering sequences and poor fine motor skills can lead to dysgraphia, once a child reaches the time to start writing.
