In this episode of The Writing Glitch, Cheri starts a book study on her groundbreaking work, Handwriting Brain Body Disconnect. Joined by veteran occupational therapist Teresa Roderigues, they explore the intricacies of dysgraphia, including its various forms, common symptoms, and effective intervention strategies. Teresa shares powerful insights from her experience working with students, touching on issues like visual-spatial challenges, awkward pencil grasp, and the need for extended time in class. This episode is packed with valuable information for educators and parents who want to better support neurodiverse students, particularly those with dysgraphia.
