Dysorthographia

Dysorthographia is a disorder of learning characterized by an important and durable defect of assimilation of grammatical rules (deterioration of the spontaneous writing or under dictation).

Symptoms of dysorthographia in varied proportions:
* A slowness , hesitations and a poverty of the writing
* Grammar, conjugation, spelling mistakes
* Difficulties with writing similar to the dyslexic
* Copy errors and arbitrary cuts of words
* Savings in syllables, omissions and merged wordsThis disorder often follows upon a dyslexia but this is not systematic. It can be developmental(congenital) or acquired (following a lesion of the nervous system), in this last case the term agraphia is often used.
