Occupational therapy at school for better handwriting
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests whether a special occupational therapy program, done at school, can help children improve their handwriting and hand skills so they do better in class. It is for children ages 7 to 9 who have some trouble with these skills but do not have other developmental diagnoses like autism or ADHD.
