Description: Like other skills, handwriting must be taught and practiced if it is to be useful for a child or adult. In the special education or rehabilitation settings, it is sometimes difficult to find time for either handwriting instruction or practice because there are so many other areas that may need attention. The purpose of the Practical Guide to Handwriting is to give professionals an instructional resource that can be used with a wide variety of children or adults with disabilities. Because few special educators or rehabilitation specialists have a background in handwriting instruction, the Practical Guide has been designed to be both comprehensive and easy to use. The sequence of instruction is straightforward and the language of instruction is simple. The primary goal of instruction is to enable the learner to write fluently, which in this case means both legibly and easily. Fluent handwriting, in turn, will be useful in school, at work, and for personal applications. The pages of the Practical Guide are intended to be reproduced as necessary to provide students or adults with handwriting practice. Not every individual needs to complete every page. The books are designed for differentiated instruction based on the needs of the student or adult.
