THE "WRITE" PLAY
Spring 2008
By having input from your occupational therapist this
workshop will be individually enhanced for each child.
At the end of the workshop a list of
activities/handwriting programs will be given to you for
continued work for you and your child to continue on
with at home.
The “Write” Play has been created for the child who is
currently in occupational therapy treatment and is
having a difficult time with their handwriting. Many of
the goals in a child’s individual occupational therapy
treatment session can be better attained through
intensity. This workshop offer’s parents a fun way for
their child to work on their individual goals outside of
their weekly treatment sessions.
Programs which will be used in this workshop are, but
not limited to: Brain Gym, Handwriting Without Tears,
and other sensory-motor approaches. These
programs/activities will all be done through a
multi-sensory approach which is one of the foundations
for fine motor skills and learning. Each of these
sensory motor classes will include specific activities
to encourage and enhance:
• movement activities to develop coordination and
strength needed for handwriting
• visual motor integration
• visual tracking and convergence
• spacing and sizing
• postural control
• pencil grip
• fine motor skills needed for handwriting
• child’s ability to attend to writing task
Please note if Occupational Therapy treatment has been
recommended for your child or your child is currently in
treatment this workshop is not meant to be in lieu of
treatment but has been created as a supplement to the
therapeutic process. It may be necessary that your child
require more one on one to help accomplish the goals of
handwriting. That being said, this workshop is still fun
and something any child will want to come back to!
