Used writing
tasks recorded on a computer-monitored XY tablet to differentiate
between normal variations in psychomotor development and dysgraphia
in 16 young children. Found that control of spatial accuracy, not
allograph retrieval or size control, discriminated dysgraphic children
from others. Poor writers were less accurate than proficient writers
and did not catch up with peers within one year. (Author)
