Sometimes kids with disorder of written expression (dysgraphia) get overlooked because they can *draw* beautifully, and given enough time, they "draw" their letters instead of "writing" them-- using, in effect, their art skills to compensate for a language-and-motor deficit.

Kids who do this tend to wear themselves out on writing tasks, so as they advance in school it becomes more of a problem.

HTH, just something to watch for--
