Although I've been an OT for 10 years this area of practice (handwriting, pediatrics, and the school setting) are all very new to me. I felt that Kristen did an excellent job with providing an introductory easy to understand overview but one that I came away with so much confidence and a good framework for learning to evaluate for handwriting difficulties.
