When Speed Stacks learned of young 12-year-old David G.’s disorder, there was no choice but to get some Speed Stacks in his hands! Dysgraphia is a neurological disorder characterized by writing disabilities. Specifically, the disorder causes a person's writing to be distorted or incorrect. In children, the disorder generally emerges when they are first introduced to writing. The cause of the disorder is unknown.

Treatment for dysgraphia varies and may include treatment for motor disorders to help control writing movements. Other treatments may address impaired memory or other neurological problems. Some physicians recommend that individuals with dysgraphia use computers to avoid the problems of handwriting.

"Thank you for sending my son David the Speed Stacks, mat, timer and DVD. The cups arrived when my older daughter had some friends over and they were truly the life of the party. David has dysgraphia and writing of any kind is not an activity he seeks to do (see homework sample).

Remarkably, David wanted to write a thank you to you. Even more amazing is that it is legible. He is enjoying the Speed Stacks and I do believe they are helping him (David is 12 and in the 6th grade). Thanks so much!" Jane G.

This is David's homework sample his mom sent in to share with us. David had not begun stacking yet.

This is a sample of David's note to Speed Stacks that he wrote after practicing sport stacking. We think he has improved, too

No one knows for sure if David will ever be rid of dysgraphia permanently, but sport stacking with Speed Stacks just may help with his progress. We hope to hear more from David and his mom, Jane in the future!!
