(REGISTRATION CLOSED) Helping Horrible Handwriting: Interventions to Improve Graphomotor Skills When Formal Programs Fall Short

Description

Back by popular request (please see testimonials below)

While children are commonly referred for occupational therapy in school due to deficits in handwriting, children with multiple diagnoses and delays present a unique challenge for therapists. Each child presents with a variety of barriers to learning how to write that often are not measured by a visual motor test or fine motor assessment. In this course, “Helping Horrible Handwriting: Interventions to Improve Graphomotor Skills When Formal Programs Fall Short” you will learn how to determine foundational deficits impacting writing and design effective interventions to support neurosensory integration for improved outcomes. You will also learn about specific dysgraphia symptom clusters and strategies for effective treatment planning, taking a whole-body approach to improving legibility and automaticity.
