I just had an article published in our profession's trade magazine, OT Practice, titled "Sensory Writing, A Team Approach to Handwriting Instruction". The article describes a multi-sensory writing group that we hold in a classroom once a week. The special-needs students, teachers, paraprofessionals, and even peer-tutors are all involved. Oh, and I lead the group! :) The group has been a great success and so much fun!

Sensory Writing Article
Dr. Zachry: Thank you for writing the article on Sensory Handwriting for OT Practice. Many of the teachers I work with are excited about the Orton-Gillingham training they received through our county and are implementing many multi-sensory activities to complement the county's traditional handwriting instruction. I plan to share your article with my teachers, from elementary school through high school. I appreciate you taking the time to help those of us working alongside you in the trenches.
