Dysgraphia, resulting from the difficulty in expressing thoughts in writing, is a learning disability. Being a disability, there is no cure or remedy...just coping strategies You don't say if this is for you or someone else and don't give an age so some strategies might not apply. Some strategies are:
1. get the main ideas on paper without worrying about spelling, punctuation or grammar
2. use a computer since it has spell check is writing will be legible
3. talk as you write since it provides auditory feedback
4. get approved so you can have extra time allotted for tests (in many school districts, this will require proof of diagnosis)
5. when writing a paper, on your rough draft, draw a picture to represent what you want to write in your paper
6. use a tape recorder to record your thoughts before writing them down
7. request a note taker (in many school districts, this will require proof of diagnosis)
8. practice, practice, practice handwriting (since it is usually very poor)
9. to minimize writing, worksheets with room for answers should be provided (in many school districts, this will require proof of diagnosis)
10. print if it is more legible than your writing
11. use graph paper for math problems
12. allow use of voice recognition software
13. break long term tasks into increments doing a little each day
14. many who are dysgraphic are visual or auditory learners so use those methods of learning where possible
15. when doing papers, the strategy is POWER
