Dysgraphia is a term applied to the symptom of writing difficulty. It is estimated that there is at least one student with dysgraphia in every classroom in the United States. Unfortunately, many of these students are misdiagnosed, or, simply overlooked. In a society in which reading and writing skills are necessities, this is devastating for thousands of youngsters and their families.

This book is a hopeful, fascinating study of gifted and profoundly gifted people with learning disabilities and visual-spatial strengths. Thomas West's premise is that the things that seem like disabilities to us now at this time in history, may, in the future, be strengths in an increasingly visual world. West also discusses the influence of computers as both creative and compensatory tools for twice-exceptional gifted people.
