Smart Kids Who Hate to Write DVD

Description

Does your child seem lazy, sloppy, and unmotivated?  He could be suffering from a learning glitch called dysgraphia, which can be helped!  Some children have to use so much energy to actually put thoughts to paper that they never want to write at all!

Not all children who with a writing block also have visual/spatial difficulties, but they often overlap.  This is a very common learning block in gifted children, often not identified until the teens when they struggle to turn in work. You’ll even find out if your child is hard wired to be right-handed or left-handed.

Dysgraphia:

• Resists writing (after age 7)
• Writing reversals
• Math problems not lined up
• Place value or reading clock difficult
• Omits letters when spelling
• Can’t get thoughts on paper
• Copying very labor intensive
• Poor spacing on paper
• Great stories orally, but writes very little
• Fine motor difficulties

Visual/Spatial Problem

• Difficulty identifying left and right quickly
• Difficulty learning to tie shoes
• Fine motor problems
• Difficulty skipping (but can gallop, which is one-sided)
• Late learning how to go down stairs using alternating feet
• Frequently this child has been referred for Occupational Therapy

In this DVD you will learn how to identify a child with a writing glitch, dysgraphia, visual/spatial problems, and, more importantly, how to work on those problems using a proven method.  This exercise was originally developed to improve eye/hand coordination and ball handling ability in sports.  Coaches said these students just “knew where they were in the field after doing this exercise.”
