An increasing number of students are attending school without necessary foundational writing skills that impact their ability to write well.
You may have learners who:

  • Struggle to hold a pencil or sit in a chair
  • Produce illegible, unreadable writing
  • Can’t get their thoughts on paper

If this sounds familiar, you’ll want to join Lindsey Biel, OTR/L, and Kati McIlory, OT/L, ATS for a free webinar about approaches that improve written communication.
You’ll learn effective ways to support struggling writers (including those with dysgraphia), like:

  • Low-tech methods such as innovative ergonomics and specialized paper
  • Assistive writing tools including Co:Writer, Read&Write, typing programs, and handwriting apps
  • Activities to build foundational skills like hand strength & postural control, as well as creative ergonomics when using technology
