Kids can benefit from HWT even during the pre-kindergarten years. In fact, HWT has a program made just for that age group that includes music and fun activities and targets grasp and finger strengthening, trunk strengthening, pencil grasp, pre-writing shapes, learning to write name, and drawing a picture of a person. Specially designed HWT workbooks and other materials also support skill building.
As a child grows, he can transition into the other HWT programs for lowercase printing, uppercase printing and cursive writing.
Members of the occupational therapy team at Child and Family Development, offer individual and group services with the HWT approach.
