Is there a differences between an expressive language disorder and Dysgraphia?

Question

I have some questions on the differences has Expressive language disorder falls under DSM 315.31 and Dysgraphia falls under DSM 315.2.

Answer 1

You probably mean agraphia. agraphia or dysgraphia (a- and dys- root means without/unable) means you have difficulty writing. that does not necessarily mean the same as expressive language disorder which is more aprosidia (inability to express oneself via facial expression/gesture or understand others prose). i learned all this in psych although the whole broadman's areas and its associations i dont' remember all that much i am sure that expressive side comes from the right side of the hemisphere and writing has to do with the lexicon BA 39 i believe (neuroscience) and getting it to the area for motor to write down the things you want to express. i hope this helps! good luck
