In this episode of Wholistically PsychEd, I sit down with Kelli Fetter, occupational therapist and founder of Handwriting Solutions, to uncover why handwriting is much more than just putting pen to paper. Kelli shares how handwriting impacts brain development, literacy, and self-esteem, and offers insight into challenges like dyslexia and dysgraphia. We explore how COVID and increased technology use have affected handwriting skills, how early assessments can make a difference, and practical tips for parents and educators to spot when difficulties arise and to support strong handwriting habits. If you’ve ever wondered why handwriting is a key to success in every other academic area, this conversation will open your eyes!Kelli’s Resources:Free Consultation: https://calendly.com/kelli-hws/consult?utm_source=instagram&utm_medium=bioWebsite: https://www.handwritingsolutions.org/Writing Camp: https://www.handwritingsolutions.org/summer-camps-2025IEP SUPPORT | 74-pg IEP Guide:⚡https://stan.store/Wholisticallypsyched/p/get-my-behavior-guide--iep-guides-now BEHAVIOR SUPPORT: ⚡https://stan.store/Wholisticallypsyched/p/get-my-behavior-guide--iep-guides-now OR FULL ACCESS:⚡ Get complete access to my Google Drive, 54+ Educational resources and counting (includes both Behavior & IEP Guide!)
