Are you eager to develop your school’s knowledge and practices around handwriting?

Our Whole Day Handwriting Training will elevate the quality of handwriting instruction and production in your school. Experience a Full Day Training Session with Sheilagh. It is designed for teachers and teaching assistants. Sheilagh brings 25 years of experience as a therapist and 8 years of running a successful handwriting business. She offers targeted solutions to children worldwide. She’s an author of two handwriting books and has developed effective handwriting strategies for children aged 6 to 16 years.

What You’ll Gain from the Training:

  • In-Depth Training: This in-person training delves deep into what, why and how of handwriting. Various strategies are suggested for supporting diverse learners. Including those with dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia, left-handed writers, and sensory challenges.
  • Personalised Feedback: Bring handwriting samples for personalised feedback. Hear actionable strategies that you can implement immediately.
  • Customisable Content: Choose from a ‘pick n mix’ selection of training subjects. Use them to tailor the session to your school’s unique needs. Designed to Transform Your Staff’s Teaching Abilities: Our training takes your staff from being competent educators who help children improve their handwriting to talented educators who can identify and implement specific writing strategies tailored to each child’s needs.

Most schools book a one-off training day to increase attendees’ knowledge and prepare for implementing a new handwriting scheme. Or they book due to a recognized need or interest within their school. Schools typically book two terms ahead to ensure availability.
