The article deals with the problem of symptomatology of graphomotor disorders, focusing on the situational determinants of the observed symptoms of pathologies and on the related difficulties with the assessment of handwriting/writing activity. It is based on the example of my own patients under care of the UMCS Department of Logopedics and Applied Linguistics Logopedic Lab. Students with disordered graphomotor skills and without being properly diagnosed experience failures at school: when trying to prevent them, they follow the remarks made by teachers and parents which largely refer to the results of their students’work rather than the manner of performing the writing activities. Students with graphomotor disorders may sometimes achieve a comparatively high graphic level of handwriting, and the legibility of the text, at the same time, however, they are unable to function properly under school conditions and at home as writing is too time-consuming and exhausting, it engages the student’s attention too much at the expense of other kinds of activities. The illustration of the phenomena in question is the patients’ handwriting samples.
