Why Calling Dysgraphia "SLD in Written Expression" Matters! Online - 37497
Writing difficulties involve far more than handwriting, and this course explores why the diagnosis of Specific Learning Disorder in Written Expression provides a more comprehensive understanding of students' writing challenges than the term dysgraphia. This course helps occupational and physical therapists better understand how executive function, language, and handwriting difficulties interact to affect writing performance and explores evidence-informed interventions, including executive function supports, language strategies, assistive technology, and handwriting remediation. Through a case study and practical applications, participants will learn how to advocate for and implement a collaborative team approach that improves writing outcomes, school participation, and academic success.
Complete registration by 12/31/2026 to receive a full year of webinar access, ready-to-use toolkits, and an invitation to an optional Q&A session with Karen Tartick on October 1, 2026.
