Learning Without Tears Strategies for Dysgraphia

Join us for a dynamic, hands-on session where you'll discover engaging and practical handwriting intervention strategies grounded in evidence-based practices. This session is designed to activate different learning pathways in the brain and support students, including those with dysgraphia, in developing strong, legible, and efficient handwriting skills. Through interactive activities, you'll explore foundational components such as fine motor development, posture, paper positioning, pencil grip, letter formation, and size and placement. You'll also learn how to build a fun and structured routine that blends multisensory techniques with confidence-boosting handwriting practice in both print and cursive. Come ready to move, participate, and leave inspired with practical tools you can implement immediately to help your students thrive.
