On the Road to Handwriting Success A Resource Guide for Therapists, Teachers, and Parents If you're a parent who is tired of nagging your child about sloppy handwriting and/or poor academic performance... If you're a teacher who wants to delve deeper into learning about how handwriting skills develop and/or when to refer a child to a specialist... If you're a therapist looking for an educational resource for your clients... On the Road to Handwriting Success: A Resource Guide for Therapists, Teachers and Parents is for you! It is written by Dr. Carol Leibovich-Mankes, an Occupational Therapist and Parent Coach with 20 years of experience in the field. Remember-a Child's Behavior is not Always What it Seems. What we see is behavior; what we don't see are the possible underlying struggles preventing the child from meeting expectations. These may include unmet basic needs (sleep, hunger, need for attention, security, etc.), self-esteem issues, heightened emotions, developmental level, executive-function abilities, sensory needs, and/or undiagnosed disabilities. This guide will help you discover your child's strengths and weaknesses. Its focus is on his/her abilities, not entirely on diagnosis. On the Road to Handwriting Success is the ultimate resource for therapists, teachers, and parents. In it, you will find tips, strategies, suggestions, and information to minimize and understand undesirable behavior(s), below grade level performance and to support handwriting and learning development in children.
