Systems Approach to Handwriting Interventions
An Evidence-Rich Practice
This course will utilize the Occupational Therapy Practice Framework to organize a systems approach to handwriting interventions. A systems approach takes into account the school as client and the use of a general education handwriting curriculum delivered with fidelity, along with determination of educational disability in this area of handwriting within the mandate of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Advocacy as a school-based systems intervention will also be discussed. Closed Captioned in English.
BONUS: PRACTICAL TOOLKIT – Links to Assessment Tools and Must Reads; Checklist: Top-Down Assessment; Worksheet: Handwriting Legibility Formula
