"I highly recommend this course for all OTs. Handwriting is present in a good many of the occupations we all perform daily. This course will energize you to help lay the foundations for handwriting. It is not just about being able to "trace" a letter.

This course teaches/reinforces that reading and writing go together - each skill feeds the other. This course will give you the tools you need to then proceed to work with the whole individual student/client."
