Handwriting is an extremely complex task that we ask our students to do on a daily basis in school. So why is it so complex? And what are these foundational skills that a person needs to have in order to write.

Today's episode answers those questions. As an Occupational Therapist, I am more than a handwriting teacher. My background allows me to analyze activity based on my knowledge of all the different systems in a person's body working together in a coordinated manner to produce legible handwriting. My job is to figure out what barriers exist for a child, and help them overcome these barriers to access their educational setting so they ARE able to write to the best of their ability. I am a firm believer that children of all different abilities need these foundational skills in order to get information from their head down to their hand to create symbols and shapes that make up letters, words, sentences and paragraphs that communicate thoughts and ideas!
