About The Course

  • About

    The Solving the Handwriting Puzzle program was created for 2 main reasons. The first reason was to create a handwriting program that was linear and has easy to follow steps to teach and correct handwriting. The second reason this program was created, was to help build students' self esteem as handwriters. After 24 year of working as an occupational therapist, I have seen many students struggle with handwriting and have "emotional walls". These "emotional walls" limit the students ability to improve their handwriting, due to their poor self image. This program uses positive language and empowers the student to feel better about their handwriting, while at the same time improving their handwriting quality.
