Dysgraphia is more than messy handwriting; it is a complex learning difference that can significantly impact a student’s academic performance, confidence, and participation in school-based occupations. This 2-hour, evidence-based webinar equips occupational therapy practitioners with practical tools to identify dysgraphia and implement meaningful, functional supports. Participants explore how dysgraphia presents across development and gain clarity on top-down versus bottom-up intervention approaches, including when and why each approach is most effective.
Participants learn cognitive-based strategies to support written expression and executive functioning, along with easy to implement school accommodations that can be applied within classroom, IEP, and 504 settings. The latest tools, including functional uses of AI, are introduced as innovative ways to reduce barriers to written output while supporting student participation. Common myths surrounding dysgraphia are addressed to help practitioners advocate effectively and deliver strengths-based, occupation-centered intervention.
