As a fellow OT, thank you!!! The amount of times I’ve preached to parents about how I don’t care about pencil grasp. Ever see Taylor Swift hold a pen? Doesn’t hold her back!

Great points! If it’s functional leave it alone

I took one of your courses 8 years ago and loved it! Your handwriting strategies are the most successful ones I’ve ever used!

school based COTA here. I LOVE the movement toward functional and readable handwriting vs perfect handwriting and grips. it makes so much more sense!

New OT & when I started out I literally had all of these thoughts but felt I was wrong bc of everyone else forcing “this is the correct way”!!!

As a COTA I love this! I often see grasps that aren’t proper but definitely functional!

Met you as a first year OT student at the Texas state conference. Just graduated OT school this month and followed your principles in my school rotation! Can’t wait to be a school-based OT one day!

Started using size matters this year with my students and the growth in their handwriting was amazing!! Shifting from focusing on letter formation to line placement/sizing really made the difference in the legibility in a lot of their writing. Do you have any tips so for correcting letter rehearsals specifically lowercase like b and d?

I’ve been saying this for years! I myself combat this as a kid and refused to change my writing grip.

I often don’t mind if they start the letter at the line because I know it’s gonna be written on the line lol.
