Dysgraphia & Fine Motor Planning

Helping the Brain Write with Rhythm, Timing & Control

At Precision Brain Training™, we help children and teens struggling with dysgraphia, poor handwriting, and fine motor delays build confidence and coordination from the inside out. Using Interactive Metronome® (IM), we train the brain to better organize movement, attention, and timing—key ingredients for clear, legible, and efficient writing.

 

 What is Dysgraphia?

Dysgraphia is a neurological handwriting disorder that affects the ability to:

• Form letters and maintain spacing

• Coordinate hand movement with visual input

• Sequence strokes and maintain rhythm while writing

• Sustain focus and posture during writing tasks

Many children with dysgraphia also have challenges with fine motor planning, grip strength, pencil control, or motor fatigue—all of which IM is designed to support.

 

 How Interactive Metronome Helps

​

IM targets the brain’s timing and coordination networks, which directly impact writing fluency and motor sequencing. Through fun, structured rhythmic exercises, IM strengthens:

✔️ Fine motor precision for smoother letter formation
✔️ Visual-motor integration to help eyes and hands work together
✔️ Hand-eye coordination for improved control and spacing
✔️ Gross motor coordination, which supports posture, shoulder stability, and core engagement
✔️ Attention and focus, helping students complete writing tasks with less fatigue

 What Families Notice

• Neater, more fluid handwriting

• Improved speed and endurance

• Less frustration with writing tasks

• Better ability to copy from the board

• Improved core stability and posture during work

• More confidence in schoolwork and independent tasks

 

 Ideal for Children with:

• Dysgraphia

• ADHD with fine/gross motor delays

• Sensory processing difficulties

• Developmental coordination disorder (DCD)

• Visual-motor integration challenges

• Autism Spectrum with handwriting struggles
