Information About Handwriting
Handwriting is an important life skill. Even though we live in a computer oriented world, a child still needs to be able to write legibly. Jan Olsen, creator of the Handwriting Without Tears curriculum, states "A person who can fill out a job application, take a phone message, address a package, and make a list is better qualified for life and work." Children who have poor handwriting skills also may have difficulties with math, reading, writing sentences, writing neatly on worksheets, writing with a functional speed, and writing legibility.
We utilize a multi-sensory approach to teach children the skills necessary for development of hand skills. Sessions include gross motor, fine motor, and tactile activities to facilitate learning.
