ABSTRACT
This chapter aims to remove the mask of instructional paradigms and train educators and therapists to implement interventions to maximize engagement in writing. Students do not need to include using a pen or pencil and paper. Approximately 10%–33% of the population have handwriting hindrances. Incomplete neurological pathways supporting visual-perceptual, visual-motor, and memory development prevent writing. Paradigm shifts are required to maximize the performance of all students, regardless of disability. Based on a sensory-motor approach to writing, six intervention types of dysgraphia yielded specific interventions to support their developmental hierarchy. Engaging full body movements before writing improves legibility and speed. A sample of these interventions is included, allowing the interventionist to explore further additional interventions that support the categories.
