The Seminars
This practical seminar on Solving the Handwriting Puzzle will provide the foundation to teaching handwriting with clear,
concise, and positive instruction.   Continuing education will be enjoyable during this seminar with three interactive labs in
the areas of ocular motor evaluation and treatment, hand development, and handwriting evaluation.   Further, specific
treatment techniques for common handwriting deficits such as reversals, copying from the board, confused hand
dominance and slow handwriting rate will be provided.
This Seminar is directed for special education teachers and staff, general education teachers and occupational therapists.

" It was honestly one of the better workshops that I've been to and I received some really good activities and ideas
that I'm already using with my students".
