Are the tools you are using to assess handwriting helping you determine the true needs of the student, and whether they would benefit from OT services?

To do so effectively, Peggy will start this seminar by presenting the latest evidence on the multiple variables that influence handwriting speed and legibility. She will share with you the 4-Step Top-Down Process for assessing handwriting. You will learn about various assessment tools, from screening to self-proficiency questionnaires, and testing tools. She will discuss which tools are most helpful in your decision-making. Peggy will then utilize a case study with 3 different scenarios to discuss the decision-making of the handwriting needs of students, and ways the OT practitioner can support their specific needs. Closed Captioned in English.
