Handwriting and cognitive development (Jennifer Papasodoro talk)
Jennifer Papasodoro, a pediatric occupational therapist from Burlington who spent more than seventeen years working in schools, talks about handwriting and cognitive development. She has argued for teaching both printing and cursive, on the grounds that handwriting trains visual-motor, perceptual, motor-planning and attention skills as well as fine motor control.
