Specialized Training Groups

Pen Pals

  Pen Pals is a writing group developed exclusively by the Occupational Therapy Team at
Innovative Therapy 4-Kids, Inc. and is based on the Handwriting Without Tears® program.
HWT is a developmental, kinesthetic, letter formation program that teaches children how to
form their letters in a fun and stress free environment.

    PEN PALS uses the basic principles of the HWT program with the unique addition of
sensorimotor skill warm ups, music, rhythm and whole body learning.

 During each week-long session, your child will participate and focus on:


• Activities for primitive postural reflex integration and posture
• Sensorimotor coordination
• Basic grasp patterns
• Basic strokes for forming letters
• Formation of all upper and lower case letters and numbers.

Home activities will be provided daily.
All materials provided in class.
