In this episode, Sabrena Schaefer shares how the Dotterer Dysgraphia Method transformed her understanding of dysgraphia, a disability in written expression. She and Cheri exchange ideas to support handwriting challenges. Sabrena shares how she remediated a student to write the letter "a" and Cheri adds additional methods to remediate that letter. These interventions can be used for any letter or number.

What is dysgraphia?

Before I took the course, I thought dysgraphia was having a hard time writing letters or forming letters backward, writing above the line, through the line, and under the line, or having challenges with writing. 

How did a course change your perspective?

Now that I have taken the Dotterer Dysgraphia Method, I know that it's much more than the written component that students struggle. So it's as her book is titled the brain-body disconnect. I learned much more in-depth as I read the book and took the course. 

Sabrena shares intervention strategies that she created from the course.
