Output Disabilities (Expressing Information): Information is communicated through words, language output or through muscle activities (writing, drawing, gesturing, etc.) motor output. Children might have one or both of these output disabilities.
Output disabilities fall into two categories - Language Disabilities and Motor Disabilities. Output disabilities affect the information that comes out of the brain (1)in the form of words - namely - language output (- an example could be where a person has difficulty understanding language despite normal hearing and vision. (2) The second type output disability can show up through the use of motor activity - for example writing, gesturing, signing, drawing or painting. Dysgraphia is an example of a disability that relates to a motor activity. It is a writing disability in which a person finds it hard to form letters or write within a defined space.
