• Abstract: Dysgraphia is a specific learning disability that is prevalent among school-age children. It affects handwriting coherence, quality, fluency, and legibility, often hindering academic achievement and early learning development. This motor coordination disorder is typically diagnosed through subjective assessments based on clinician observation, which can be timeconsuming and prone to variability. In this paper, we introduce a deep learning-based framework for objective dysgraphia detection using online handwriting data captured via digitizing tablets. The proposed framework relies on two complementary branches: the first pipeline extracts both handcrafted and embedding-based kinematic features directly from raw temporal signals, while the second leverages image-based representations of the temporal signals generated using continuous wavelet transforms (CWT) and Gramian Angular Fields (GAF). The resulting features are then fused to leverage the complementary strengths of both representations. The four representations were evaluated separately and jointly using the publicly available DiaGraMo dataset, showing that the fusion of GAF, MOMENT, and hand-crafted kinematic features outperforms each individual representation, as well as other fusion schemes. These findings highlight the potential of the complementarity of image and signal based representations for more objective dysgraphia detection.
