RE: Handwriting skills

Check the January AJOT.� There are some articles on handwriting that may help.� Dr. Estelle Breines   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Anja und Julian Junkers Sent: Friday, January 25, 2002 7:46 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Handwriting skills   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
