Common Core left Handwriting Behind‪!‬ The OT Schoolhouse Podcast for School-Based OT Practitioners

School-based OT practitioners are not handwriting teachers! However, handwriting is often the most common reason for referral.
In our chat with Debra Collette, OTD, OTR/L, we are discussing a recent article where she surveyed teachers, administrators, and therapists on the missing pieces of handwriting in schools. Ten years ago, common core began to take over school standards, but the standards neglected to include handwriting.
