Handwriting
The ability to
write neatly and quickly is an important element affecting
success in school and in life. If you or your child needs to
improve handwriting skills, you know the frustrations that
these difficulties can generate and you know that may be
hindering the progress that moves one forward to full academic
success.
There are several
basic brain processes involved in handwriting. Binocular
teaming, or the proper focusing of the eyes, requires
integration between the two
hemispheres of the brain. Writing neatly on the paper is a
fine motor activity that requires significant eye-hand
coordination and well developed fine motor skills. Most
handwriting problems are caused by a sensory
integration disorder that inhibits coordination and
integration between the many brain structures and systems
involved in the writing process. The question is simply this:
how can I begin to address possible brain processing problems
that may be making it difficult for me or my child to write
neatly and quickly?
The Learning
Breakthrough Program™ uses balance as a central component in addressing brain processing
difficulties. Learning Breakthrough Program™ activities
help develop greater integration between the two hemispheres
of the brain as well as vital connections between the many
other brain structures necessary to carry out the task of
writing. Learning Breakthrough Program™ activities use a group
of specially designed and carefully studied movements that
improve eye-hand coordination and a range of other critical
functions to enhance the
development of the neural networks that are crucial to the
process of hand writing.
