SUMMARY:Live Webinar on September 1: “My Child’s Handwriting Is So Messy!” Strategies for Improving Dysgraphia in Children with ADHD
DESCRIPTION:Dysgraphia is a learning disability that affects the ability of a child\, teen\, or adult to express their thoughts on paper and on screen. It affects 20% to 60% of people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In addition to impairing handwriting and keyboarding\, dysgraphia interferes with academic achievement and self-esteem. In other words\, it is much more than messy writing. \nDysgraphia varies in its symptoms and severity\, and can be easy to miss in kids\, particularly in mild cases. If your child has dysgraphia\, they may struggle with more than just writing — they might also find it hard to tie shoelaces\, for example. Because children with dysgraphia are often skilled at reading or at expanding on a topic verbally\, their struggles with writing may be blamed on “laziness” or “carelessness.” Like other learning disabilities\, dysgraphia is genetic and often runs in families. \nOccupational therapist and best-selling author Lindsey Biel explains why children can’t always show what they know on paper\, and provides practical sensory-smart strategies that can help them do that. \nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nWhy handwriting requires much more than fine motor skills\nFun activities that build underlying\, foundational skills\nPractical ways to enhance attention and reduce conflicting sensory input\nMultisensory strategies that helps kids with ADHD enjoy writing\nTips and tools for handwriting and keyboarding\n\nCertificate of Attendance: For information on how to purchase the certificate of attendance option\, register for the webinar\, then look for instructions in the email you’ll receive around 45 minutes after it ends.
