My nephew (11yrs) has severe dysgraphia. He tells his mom that he is physically incapable of using the left margin... it is like he doesn't even see it. He has similar issues with punctuation as well. He is working with OT, but has not had much success. He has to type every bit of class work because his writing is simply illegible.

My DD9 with dyslexia and mild dysgraphia will usually obey margins, but not when she is concentrating too much on content. It is, in no way, consistent. Her punctuation is nonexistent. She starts working with an Orton-Gillingham tutor after Christmas.
