Improving Handwriting without Teaching Handwriting

Is handwriting the problem or the symptom? This Introductory course attempts to answer that question by reviewing the literature about handwriting and visual-perceptual-motor function, describing a performance-based assessment/intervention model, and presenting a case study that illustrates the use of that model. The knowledge base presented includes both normal and atypical development of the entire body, because upper extremity functions require dynamic postural stability of the shoulder girdle on a stable trunk and independent movement of the head from the shoulders and the arms from the shoulders. Finally, the individual child's interests and current occupational roles are primary concerns, to ensure a level of motivation required for optimal cooperation and ultimate success. 3.75 NBCOT PDU/3.0 Credit Hours Type: Online Prerequisites: None Availability: 365 Days from Registration

This Introductory course is designed to present an overview of eye-hand coordination in terms of physiological, developmental, and functional perspectives, as well as an overview of a systems approach to assessment and task analysis. The relationships between the visual and fine-motor systems are first examined by identifying the components of eye-hand mechanisms separately and then together. The functional relevance of skill development for activities of self-help, play, and learning is correlated with areas of occupational performance such as ADLs, IADLs, education, play, leisure and social participation. Finally, the case method is used to apply an Operational Model for Eye-Hand Intervention and a Clinical Observations of Skill Development Model. Both models can be useful in gathering, analyzing, applying, synthesizing and evaluating data to guide treatment programs for children with a variety of disabilities. 3.75 NBCOT PDU/3.0 Credit Hours Type: Online Prerequisites: None Availability: 365 Days from Registration
