Handwriting

Does Reflex Integration Support Handwriting?

Therapists and parents have seen positive outcomes for handwriting in children and adults who received primitive and postural reflex integration. Areas of improvement include: use of tripod grasp, hand dominance, hand strength and stamina, eye-hand coordination, spatial-awareness, and crossing midline.

All case studies are written by students of the Brain and Sensory Foundations First Level course.
