What Are Others Saying?

"Handwriting is such a complex area, this workshop has given me more confidence with how to approach handwriting in terms of identifying why it has been identified as a concern, the importance of practice in between therapy sessions, what assessments may be most helpful and the reasons to use different approaches. I would love more information, but there was plenty of information in this workshop for me to digest before I learn more."
