Dyslexia vs Dysgraphia — What’s the Difference?

Both dyslexia and dysgraphia can affect how children learn, but they impact different areas. Dyslexia is linked to reading and language, while dysgraphia is connected to writing and motor skills.

Need to go deeper? Read our full blog ‘Dyslexia vs Dysgraphia: Understanding the key Differences and How to Support Your Child’ on our website.

Remember — every child learns differently, and the right support can make all the difference. 💛

✨ New Blog + Parent Resource ✨

Routines give children confidence, calm, and security — especially for autistic kids who thrive on predictability. But we also know life isn’t always predictable.

In our latest blog, we share:
🧩 Why routine matters
🧩 Simple strategies to make daily life smoother
🧩 How to build flexibility into routines without overwhelm

Plus: we’ve created an editable Visual Supports Kit you can use at home to set up routines, choice boards and more.
