Teaching style
As occupational therapists we are passionate about children and early development. Writing ability entails so much more than just fine motor skills. There are many foundational skills necessary to enable neat, legible writing with appropriate speed, spacing and quality.
WriteAbility aims to support teachers, therapists and parents with information, tools and therapeutic home and classroom activities to support and develop all aspects of writing skills for children from PreK to 3rd Grade.
