The medical term for a condition that involves an inability to understand or learn written language is dysgraphia. The term comes from the Greek words “dys” which means impaired and “graphia” means making letterforms by hand that affects a person’s handwriting ability and fine motor skills

In addition, this specific learning disability includes issues with understanding or using language that make it difficult to read and write a sentence, incapacity to listen carefully, inability to think or do mathematical calculations and to spell.
