Have you ever thought of having your students be the handwriting teachers?
By having students apply what they learned during an OT session, they can go back into the classroom to share the letter stories and formations with everyone… including the teacher! This is a great functional way to help them solidify what they learned.

Today, Cheryl Bregman is here to discuss some common handwriting norms on which she is flipping the script. We also dive into how children have been affected with dysgraphia and pseudo dysgraphia and how a collaborative approach can help.

Tune in to learn about an awesome handwriting program Cheryl has created that can help a child learn to write in five weeks!
