Esta dissertação é composta por três estudos conduzidos de acordo com a abordagem da Neuropsicologia Cognitiva, a fim de compreender as habilidades e prejuízos na escrita de palavras/pseudopalavras de adultos com lesão cerebrovascular no hemisfério direito (LHD) e no hemisfério esquerdo (LHE), comparados a adultos neurologicamente saudáveis (controles). No primeiro estudo, comparou-se o desempenho dos grupos com LHE, LHD e controles em tarefas de linguagem oral e escrita e nos tipos de erros na tarefa Escrita Ditada em um instrumento de avaliação neuropsicológica breve. O grupo com LHE apresentou pior desempenho em todas as tarefas de linguagem oral e escrita (exceto em compreensão oral). Verificou-se que o grupo com LHE demonstrou déficits significativos nas habilidades linguísticas (rotas fonológica e lexical) e periféricas fundamentais para escrita de palavras, enquanto os casos com LHD destacaram-se por déficits no uso da rota lexical (Regularizações). No segundo estudo, descreveu-se o processo de construção de uma Tarefa de Escrita de Palavras/pseudopalavras controlada linguisticamente para avaliação das disgrafias em adultos. No terceiro estudo buscou-se analisar as habilidades de linguagem oral e escrita de adultos com LHE e LHD comparados a controles, analisar a associação entre características sociodemográficas e o desempenho em escrita ditada e distinguir o tipo de disgrafia adquirida dos casos com escores deficitários. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas entre os perfis linguísticos dos grupos. Melhor desempenho na escrita de palavras mostrou estar associado com altos hábitos de leitura e escrita e maior escolaridade dos adultos. Verificaram-se características de disgrafias linguísticas (fonológica, lexical e mista) e periférificas em casos com LHE e LHD. A presente dissertação destaca a heterogeneidade dos déficits de escrita encontrados e ressalta a importância do controle das variáveis sociodemográficas no diagnóstico de disgrafia adquirida. / This dissertation consists of three studies conducted in accordance with the approach of Cognitive Neuropsychology, in order to understand the skills and damages in writing of words and pseudowords of adults with cerebrovascular lesions in the right hemisphere (LHD) and left hemisphere (LHE) compared to neurologically healthy adults (controls). The first study compared the performance of groups with LHE, LHD and controls on tasks of oral and written language and the types of errors in the task dictated writing in a brief neuropsychological assessment instrument. The LHE group showed worse performance on all tasks of oral and written language (except in oral comprehension). It was found that the group with LHE has demonstrated significant deficits in linguistic (phonological and lexical) and peripheral skills fundamental to writing of words, while cases with LHD highlighted for deficits in the use of the lexical route (Regularizations). In the second study, was presented the construction process of a words/pseudowords writing task linguistically controlled for evaluation of dysgraphias in adults. The third study aimed to examine the oral and writing language skills of adults with LHE and LHD compared to controls, examining the association between sociodemographic characteristics and performance on dictated written distinguish the type of acquired dysgraphia in the cases with deficient scores. There were no significant differences between the linguistic profiles of the groups. Best performance in writing of words was associated with higher reading and writing habits and higher education of adults. There were features linguistic (phonological, lexical and mixed) and peripherical dysgraphias in cases with LHE and LHD. This dissertation highlights the heterogeneity of deficits founded in the word writing and highlights the importance of controlling sociodemographic variables in the diagnosis of acquired dysgraphia.

This thesis deals with specific learning disorders (SPU). It declares basic terms and definitions connected to this field. The aim is to learn what children with SPU have to go through and what methods we select during the care of them to help them to join standard life at an early age. Parental and institutional help together with the help of teachers are parts of this thesis as well. In a questionnaire survey is traced the fact whether both teachers at elementary schools and parents are sufficiently informed about SPU and whether they are able to identify pupils with SPU and with help of various methods, procedures and skills to work with them.

The theoretical part of the thesis describes problems of diagnoses of specific disorders of learning, especially dyslexia, dysgraphia and dysortographia. It establishes the notions, describes the manifestations, etiology and diagnostics of learning disorders. Afterwards, the re-education of dyslexia is described in more detail. The practical section contains learning aids for students who suffer from specific disorders of learning in the subject of Czech langueage in grade 5, term 1. This regards the use of working lists and flash cards designed for use with the given age group. Also included are systematic instructions with which, through the use of these aids, characterizes and offers their use during teaching.

My thesis "Geography teaching of students with a specific learning disabilities" is concerned with specific learning disabilities related to lessons of Geography. It presents the ways of manifestation of the issue in educational process and, subsequently, the effective solutions in a form of recommendations usable in lessons of Geography. The practical part is based on the assumption of displays of certain learning disabilities that may occur in lessons of Geography. The ways how the disabilities may be displayed were estimated through studying available literature in question. Based on the above Frame Education Programme for Elementary Education was analysed. Certain proposals have been worked out for the items that seem to be problematic for pupils with dyslexia and dyscalculia. The proposals are presented in a common format usual in Geography lessons and, subsequently, in adjusted format to be checked if it is easier to understand to the corresponding pupil's. The practical part contains adapted tasks, pupils work description in Geography lessons, and analysis of results. The results represent comparing success rates of both the versions, and potential additional information acquired from pupils. Keywords Dyslexia, dysgraphia, dysortografia, specificlearningdisabilities, geography, teaching.

Students diagnosed with specific learning disabilities struggle with spelling accuracy, but they do so for different reasons. For instance, students with dysgraphia, dyslexia, and oral-written language learning disability (OWL-LD) have distinct areas of weakness in cognitive processing and unique difficulties with the linguistic features necessary for accurate spelling (Silliman & Berninger, 2011). This project considered the spelling errors made by such students to determine if their unique learning profiles lead to distinct misspelling patterns. Academic summaries handwritten by 33 students diagnosed with dysgraphia (n=13), dyslexia (n=15), and OWL-LD (n=5) were analyzed for type/complexity and number of spelling errors. Additionally, the differences in error frequency and complexity were analyzed based on whether academic material had been listened to or read. Misspellings were extracted from the students' essays and evaluated using an unconstrained linguistic scoring system (POMAS). Then, the complexity/severity of the misspelling was computed using a complexity metric (POMplexity). Statistical results revealed that children within the diagnostic categories of dysgraphia, dyslexia, and OWL-LD appear to produce errors that are similar in complexity and frequency. Hence, students with specific learning disabilities do not appear to make patterns and numbers of errors specific to their diagnosis. Additionally, statistical results indicated that all students produced similar numbers of errors in both the reading and listening conditions, indicating that the mode of presentation did not affect spelling accuracy. When spelling errors were analyzed qualitatively, some differences across diagnostic categories and variability within groups was noted. Students with dysgraphia produced misspellings involving a phoneme addition or omission. Phonological and orthographic errors typical of younger children were characteristic of misspellings produced by students with dyslexia. Individuals with OWL-LD tended to omit essential vowels and were more likely to misspell the same word in multiple different ways. Overall, these results indicate that the subcategories of dysgraphia, dyslexia, and OWL-LD represent of gradients of impairment within the overarching category of specific learning disabilities. However, even within those subcategories, there is a wide degree of variability. Diagnostic categories, then, may suggest areas of linguistic weakness, but subcategories alone cannot be used for determining the nature of spelling intervention.

Parkinson’s disease causes among other symptoms also writing disorder. Parkinson's dysgrafia is disease the writing of parkinsonics. The aim of the work is to show the importance of examinig the parametres of Parkinson's dysgrafia and to find writing parametres, which could distinguish healthy subjects from the pacient and also it could monitoring progress of pakinson's disease. Some of the parametrs showed marked differences and therefore could distinguish healthy people from those with Parkinson’s disease.

Writing is essential to human interaction. When handwriting is illegible, communication may be negatively impacted. A severe deficit in handwriting is known as dysgraphia, a problem frequently associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Video self-modeling (VSM) has been proven effective for children with ASD in the strengthening of social skills, verbalizations, and daily living skills. However, there remains a significant gap in the literature regarding the use of VSM for the treatment of dysgraphia in children with ASD. Because VSM has demonstrated success in the acquisition of many types of skills, it may prove similarly effective for remediating dysgraphia in children with ASD. Utilizing a behavioral perspective, this study seeks to determine if VSM is an effective treatment for improving handwriting legibility and proficiency. This study analyzes secondary data collected by a day treatment center (DTC) specializing in the care of children with ASD. Data indicated that after establishing a baseline level of behavior for writing simple words, the DTC staff administered the VSM treatment and rated the legibility of the participants' responses based on the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Achievement (WJ-III) Handwriting Legibility Scale. Raw score differences between baseline and treatment phases were recorded and analyzed. A pretest/ posttest evaluation based on scores obtained from the Handwriting Proficiency Screening Questionnaire (HPSQ) and Handwriting Proficiency Screening Questionnaire for Children (HPSQ-C) determined changes in handwriting proficiency. Effectively analyzing this data would be an important contribution to the existing literature, and would enhance social change initiatives through strengthening the communication skills of individuals with ASD.
