Course: Teaching and Accomodating Handwriting Skills (Focus: EIP/SPED/Pri)
If you are a teacher, therapists or anyone who need to teach children with autism writing skills this will be the right course for you to attend.
Handwriting is a basic skill needed by almost all of us. Some individuals with autism may find it challenging to acquire handwriting skills due to difficulties in their motor co-ordination and/or sensory issues.
