Dysgraphia does not have to limit creativity as shown by the sample below composed on a computer by a 12 year old dyslexic and dysgraphic student.

1)  First draft of creative story as typed by 12 year old student:

the way I descride a bumby ride is like wothgan mowtsarts mowsek. eshe bumby rowd is like a song.  Eshe bumb is the a note eche uncon at the sam time ste is, that was the mewstere to mowts mowsuk it was vare metereus and unperdekdable.  So the next time you drive down a bumby theak of mowtsart.

2)  Same story.  Student read to teacher using his draft:

"The way I describe a bumpy ride is like Wolfgang Mozart's music.  Each bumpy road is like a song.  Each bump in the road is a note.  Each bump is uncontrolled at the same time it still is controlled.  That was the magic  to Mozart's music.  It was very mysterious and unpredictable.  So the next time you drive down a bumpy road think of Mozart."
