Handwriting skills

[Anja und Julian Junkers]

I'm currently working in a pediatric practice in M�nich, Germany.  We are often approached by pediatrics and parents do "solve" their kids handwriting problems... Some of the children do well on sensory integration therapy, some need a better finemotor coordination, but I always find a number of kids that don't respond to our treatment at all.  Even 10 sessions of graphomotor exercises didn't do the job ;-)  Harris and Livesey (1992, Australia) suggested that activities involving kinaestetic acuity, perception and memory are more effective than practice alone.  Does someone know more about this?   A nice weekend to all of you   Anja
