We are Special Educators currently consulting and teaching in multiple Michigan school districts. We specialize in assisting students of all ages who have motor or sensory-motor difficulty completing their written schoolwork with paper and pencil. For more than 10 years, we have been highly successful in increasing our students' academic independence and self-esteem by teaching them both “Low-Tech” and “High-Tech” solutions which allow them to produce finished written products similar to those of their classmates. Many of our students complete all of their written schoolwork without the use of paper and pencil - even advanced math and science! Students who previously relied on others to write for them often no longer need this type of assistance! The students we work with have low-average to above-average intelligence[*] with a variety of disabilities such as:

We are lucky to be working in school districts that are very progressive in the area of Assistive Technology for special needs students — but we are becoming increasingly aware that many school districts are not as fortunate. Yet students with serious handwriting problems are everywhere! Although these problems are easily identified, the area of handwriting problems and their effective solutions is often not appropriately addressed for special needs kids in both inclusive and self-contained classrooms. This is how Handwriting Problem Solutions was born!

In order to share our successful program with those who may have need of it - and with the permission of over 20 nation-wide and world-wide manufacturers of special needs equipment and software - we have created a "start-to-finish," easy-to-use resource guide for parents and professionals working with kids with writing disabilities. This guide provides a comprehensive, easy to understand overview of the process of receiving services for these kids through local school districts, as well as specific recommendations for solutions, teaching strategies and implementation methods for these students' classrooms. It contains a full continuum of equipment, products, services and support for kids with writing disabilities - from how to help students improve their handwriting skills through the introduction of "High-Tech" solutions when handwriting is unable to be significantly improved and is no longer determined to be a useful tool to complete written schoolwork. Therefore, we would like to offer —

Handwriting Solutions - Equipment, Teaching Strategies
and Educational Resource Recommendations for
Kids with Writing Disabilities.

Our Resource Guide Includes:

All recommended equipment, software and accessories will include cost, for whom it is appropriate, complete descriptions, ordering and website information.

We use these solutions everyday — and they really work! It is our job to always stay on top of the latest “user-friendly”, “cost-effective” technology in our field. While we are aware that there are literally thousands of websites that give bits and pieces of information about helping kids with handwriting problems — we also know this information can be vague, scattered and overwhelming to sort out. It can also be very difficult to determine what will really work for a particular student, how/where to obtain what is needed, how to implement it in the classroom and how to encourage/receive the educational support that is necessary to ensure a student's success.

There are 2 different ways to take advantage of our services:

Option #1 — purchase our resource guide for $39.95 plus S&H. In many instances, the guide alone will provide you with the solutions you need.

Option #2 — purchase our guide and consult with us individually regarding an individual student. For detailed information regarding an individual consultation with us, click on the "Consultations" button at the top of this page — or click here.

Regardless of the option you choose, when purchasing our guide, you will be placed on our email update newsletter mailing list to be informed periodically of new products and information pertaining to kids with handwriting disabilities as they become available.
