AbilityScore 300–400 for Dysgraphia: What to Do Next

An AbilityScore in the 300–400 band is a starting point, not a verdict — it tells your clinician where to begin, and where to take your child next.

In short

An AbilityScore® in the 300–400 band means your child's written-expression skills need structured, targeted support — and the good news is that [dysgraphia](/) responds well to the right therapy, started thoughtfully. The score is a baseline, not a ceiling: it gives your clinician a precise place to begin and a clear way to measure progress against your child's own starting point. The next step is to turn that number into a personalised plan with your therapist.

What to do next

Dysgraphia (ICD-11 6A03.1) is a difficulty with the physical and organisational act of writing — letter formation, spacing, spelling and getting thoughts onto the page — not a reflection of intelligence or effort. With a score in this band, a sensible next sequence looks like:

• Confirm and refine the picture with your clinician — written expression often sits alongside fine-motor or attention patterns worth checking together.
• Begin structured occupational and learning support — explicit handwriting practice, multisensory letter formation, and gradual building of written stamina.
• Bring in everyday accommodations — extra time, pencil grips, lined or graph paper, and allowing typing or speech-to-text so ideas aren't lost to the struggle of writing.
• Re-measure on schedule — so progress is visible and the plan adjusts as your child grows.

Progress in dysgraphia is real but gradual; it shows up as neater letters, longer pieces written with less fatigue, and a child who no longer dreads the page.
