Summary In this paper we propose a clinical neurological classification of childhood dysgraphia (medical model). The subject is introduced by briefly considering the childhood learning disorders as a whole, and subsequently dysgraphia will be considered in particular with description and illustration of the different types. In our second paper we report a detailed neuropsychological study which we made of 66 children with dysgraphia. In view of the differing definitions used between professionals, this first paper is an attempt to define the terms used in our classification so that subsequent statistical analysis of individual factors in aetiology and neurology can be interpreted.
