Guest guest Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 My daughter's handwriting goes in cycles. It's never been as small and neat as most of the 5th graders, but sometimes it is really terrible. She doesn't complain of joint pain in her fingers, but she claims during these bad cycles, she can't write any better than this. Does this sound like arthritis in the fingers? Her fine motor skills aren't that great either,but they seem passable for her age. We went to a neurologist, but he did not feel she was having seizures, so he didn't order an eeg. Both he and her teachers think it might be a visual spacial disability or the neuro just thinks she has poor fine motor skills. They are supposed to assess her, but with the budget cuts in California, it seems to be taking forever. I hate discussing it with her rheumatologist,as suddenly she has pain that she never felt before. Are your kids' handwriting poor if they are having a flair and overall below average in that area? I realize some kids probably can't write at all. Jo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
