Sensory-Motor Handwriting Groups
6 Week Program
(Three 6 week cycles)
[Currently provided individually in 6 session cycles: 2 sessions per week]
Group classes expected October 2023
Handwriting is more than just holding a writing tool. It requires so many underlying skills. The ability to write encompasses cognitive perceptual skills which include letter identification, letter perception, orientation to printed language, attention to task, ability to follow instructions, memory (visual, auditory, and motor) and motor sequencing skills. It requires adequate postural stability, strength and coordination. Although, this program is NOT a substitute for therapy, it incorporates sensory-motor experiences to facilitate attention to task as well as body awareness, spatial awareness and motor planning skills. Proper repetition helps to develop memory (motor, tactile, visual and auditory) for print and cursive writing! This program also facilitates developing core and upper body strengthening needed to help control little muscles of the body (i.e. hands). Sensory-motor activities are used to facilitate movement for improved motor control and used to calm little bodies and minds for focused attention.
Our Sensory-Motor Handwriting Group Program takes place over the course of three 6 week cycles from January to June and there are 3 developmental age groups. Our classes are taught at a gradual pace in effort to allow provide the support your child may need to develop the foundation for handwriting!
