When handwriting feels frustrating, tiring or overwhelming for children, it impacts confidence, participation and learning.

Handwriting isn’t just about neat notes or cursive flair, it’s a foundational skill that supports memory, literacy, executive function, and classroom participation. In this practical and engaging webinar, Kate Broderick (dual qualified Occupational Therapist & Speech Pathologist) explores why handwriting remains a critical part of academic success and lifelong learning, even in a digital age.

You’ll learn:

• How handwriting development impacts reading, spelling, and written expression

• Why it’s not “just fine motor” and what else is involved

• Common challenges (and how to spot them early)

• Simple strategies and supports that make a big difference in the classroom and at home

Whether you're supporting a child, a student, or a whole classroom, this session will equip you with practical knowledge and tools to nurture confident, capable writers.
