Graphomotor skills are the object of research in the developmental aspect (in the normal and in diverse pathological cases, in the context of the child’s acquisition of basic school skills) and in the cases of their loss, e.g. in the course of neurodegenerative diseases. Because of the fact that writing disorders often accompany speech disorders, particularly those determined neurologically, the assessment of graphomotor skills as a sphere important for written communication (and thereby linguistic communication) should be an obligatory element of logopedic diagnosis. In the case of dysarthric patients and accompanying graphomotor disorders the analysis of specificity of these disorders (both the course of graphomotor activities and their products) may help diagnose clinical neuromotor symptoms, which in turn facilitates diagnosis of a clinical type of dysarthria.
