About the event
Handwriting is an important occupation in a child’s development. Studies show that many underlying components such as visual perception, visual motor, fine motor, and attention to task are improved with developing handwriting skills. Handwriting also improves a child’s brain development in the areas of organization, cognition, creativity, visual memory and the coordination of the left and right sides of the brain.
