Agraphia is an impairment or loss of a previous ability to write. It can occur in isolation, although it often occurs concurrently with other neurologic deficits such as alexia, apraxia, or hemispatial neglect. Agraphia can result from several etiologies. When agraphia results from disruptions to neurologic processes directly involved in language, this results in central agraphia, and when agraphia results from the motor output of writing, this results in peripheral agraphia. Proper characterization of agraphia is essential in determining the right treatment. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of agraphia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in managing patients with this condition.
