Dysgraphia is a Specific Learning Disorder which affects the 11% of students [Venturelli, 2013]. It is characterised by writing skills below the expectancies, given the age, intelligence, and education of the person [American Psychiatric Association, 1994]. It is usually diagnosed after the second year of primary school, when pupils are supposed to have learned to write in a proper way. Then, corrective or compensative measures come with a big delay. This is the reason way the development of a tool aimed at an early diagnosis would be welcome.

The aim of the present work is to design exergames which can be useful to learn more about handwriting characteristics, in order to understand which are the main hints of the presence of this disease in an early age and start to treat it before some related wrong habits become consolidated.
