What is dysgraphia?

In order to get a better understanding of dysgraphia, I looked it up on Google to see what information I could find on the web. I found some interesting information, such as it being an issue with coherence, organisation and expression.
"Dysgraphia is a condition that causes trouble with written expression. The term comes from the Greek words dys (“impaired”) and graphia (“making letter forms by hand”). Dysgraphia is a brain-based issue. 
For many children with dysgraphia, just holding a pencil and organising letters on a line is difficult. Their handwriting tends to be messy. Many struggle with spelling and putting thoughts on paper.These and other writing tasks—like putting ideas into language that is organised, stored and then retrieved from memory—may all add to struggles with written expression.
