F. One researched adaptation specific to a disability group: This activity could be adapted for
someone who has dysgraphia. Someone who has dysgraphia has a specific learning disability
that affects a person’s handwriting ability and fine motor skills. Problems may include illegible
handwriting, inconsistent spacing, poor spatial planning on paper, poor spelling, and difficulty
composing writing as well as thinking and writing at the same time and organizing their
thoughts. To adapt this activity for someone with this disability you could have an adult (parent,
therapist, etc.) make up words for the person and have the person create an organized story from
the words given. If available, have the person rewrite the words to write out the story
