Handwriting Programme For Therapists

The Hemispheres Think Write programme works. The active integration of games, activities and play to help children build the necessary cognitive, motor and visual processing skills are an inherent part of this programme. The Think Write programme can be adapted and changed to meet the individual needs of children seen in a clinical setting. The programme supports the development of pre writing skill, letter formation, development of joined up writing, as well as helping children to organise their understanding of the rules that govern handwriting, visual planning and other spatial organisation skills.

What sets Hemispheres Think Write apart, is that it addresses the three component areas of handwriting: starting with the primary skill of cognitive understanding of the rules that govern letter formation, size and spatial position establishing a strong cognitive understanding before introducing letter formation and motor planning. This offers children the opportunity to build confidence in their understanding, whilst consolidating their fine motor skills, so they can bring both together at the right time to ensure success in using the right motor plan for letter formation.
