[quote=Anonymous]The problem with handwriting is that schools have severely cut back teaching good handwriting practices throughout the years. A lot of kids have barely legible handwriting and few know cursive. You are battling a losing battle fighting for public OT services. Even if you win, those services will be minimal and not comprehensive enough to rewire bad practices that have been ingrained up to this point. Paying for private OT services will be cheaper than fighting the school system and much more beneficial than what they can provide. You may also get support via a report for accommodations such as use of a computer for written responses via a 504 plan. 504 Plans are for equal access - not educational impact. Only an IEP requires an educational impact but you need that for public OT services.[/quote]
