Just to interject about the handwriting requests. I remember a saying that, "Proximal stability allows distal control." Perhaps a fancy way of saying that scapular/shoulder weakness prevents a solid foundation for stability to allow greater fine motor control with the writing utensil. The joint laxity, poor endurance, poor posture, etc., are all things that contribute to poor penmanship. Sorry if this is redundant, but hopeful it helps.
