Dysgraphia - dyslexia

Hi,
I have a 7 year old son who has struggled with writing since he started school. After the school saying they think he is dyslexic and us disagreeing as he is good at reading and doesn't seem to have the same traits, we have decided to home school him for a while to help him.
I have just heard about dysgraphia and as I'm working with my son, it seems so similar to how he is.
I'm basically looking for advice from parents who have been through this. I'm wondering if anyone could look at this writing and tell me if it's similar to someone they know with dysgraphia?
Since we are no longer in school, I'm not sure how we can receive the help/diagnosis.

You might want to try and get a referral to OT, we found this very beneficial. You may even look to have him assessed by an educational psychologist which we did later on.

My son has dysgraphia and was diagnosed around age 6/7. I found having an educational psychologist assessment most helpful which can then point you in the right direction to access help such as OT.
